Until (on your death) you embrace the graves
Nay, (you should never hanker after worldly gains, power and position,) you shall come to know in time (that you have been chasing at a shadow)
Nay, again (We repeat, never should you misuse your life of probation,) you shall come to know (the consequences of it) in time
No, never! if you only knew the consequences thereof with sure and certain knowledg
You will certainly see the very hell-fire (in this present life by seeing the sad fate of the wicked)
Again, you shall most certainly see it (in the Hereafter) with the eye of certainty
And then on that day (of Reckoning) you shall be called to account for the favours (bestowed upon you)
