1. وَيلٌ لِأَهلِ النارِ في النارِ

    ماذا يُقاسونَ مِنَ النارِ

    Woe to the people of the Fire within the Fire!

    What they endure from the Fire!

  2. تَنقَدُّ مِن غَيظٍ فَتَغلي بِهِم

    كَمِرجَلٍ يَغلي عَلى النارِ

    It splits apart in fury, then boils with them,

    Like a cauldron boiling over a fire.

  3. فَيَستَغيثونَ لِكَي يُعتَبوا

    أَلا لَعاً مِن عَثرَةِ النارِ

    So they cry for help, hoping to be granted relief.

    Oh, to rise again from a fall into the Fire!

  4. وَكُلُّهُم مُعتَرِفٌ نادِمٌ

    لَو تُقبَلُ التَوبَةُ في النارِ

    And all of them confess, remorseful—

    If only repentance were accepted in the Fire!

  5. يَهوي بِها الأَشقى عَلى رَأسِهِ

    فَالوَيلُ لِلأَشقى مِنَ النارِ

    The most wretched plunges into it headfirst;

    Woe, then, to the most wretched from the Fire!

  6. فَتارَةً يَطفو عَلى جَمرِها

    وَتارَةً يَرسُبُ في النارِ

    At times he floats upon its embers,

    And at times he sinks into the Fire.

  7. وَكُلَّما رامَ فِراراً بِها

    فَرَّ مِنَ النارِ إِلى النارِ

    And whenever he seeks escape within it,

    He flees from the Fire into the Fire.

  8. يَطوفُ مِن أَفعى إِلى أَرقَمٍ

    وَسُمُّها أَقوى مِنَ النارِ

    He wanders from a viper to a speckled serpent,

    And its venom is stronger than the Fire.

  9. وَكَم بِها مِن أَرقَمٍ لا يَني

    يَلسَعُ مَن يُسحَبُ في النارِ

    And many a speckled serpent within it never ceases

    To sting whoever is dragged through the Fire.

  10. لا راحَةٌ فيها وَلا فَترَةٌ

    هَيهاتَ لا راحَةَ في النارِ

    There is no rest in it, nor any respite;

    Far from it! There is no rest in the Fire.

  11. أَنفاسُها مُطبَقَةٌ فَوقَهُم

    وَهَكَذا الأَنفاسُ في النارِ

    Its breaths close tightly over them,

    And such are the breaths within the Fire.

  12. سُبحانَ مَن يُمسِكُ أَرواحَهُم

    في الدَرَكِ الأَسفَلِ في النارِ

    Glory to Him who holds their souls

    In the lowest depth, within the Fire.

  13. وَلَو جِبالُ الأَرضِ تَهوي بِها

    ذابَت كَذَوبِ القِطرِ في النارِ

    And even if the earth's mountains plunged into it,

    They would melt as copper melts in fire.

  14. طوبى لِمَن فازَ بِدارِ التُقى

    وَلَم يَكُن مِن حَصَبِ النارِ

    Blessed is whoever gains the abode of piety,

    And is not among the fuel of the Fire.

  15. وَوَيلُ مَن عُمِّرَ دَهراً وَلَم

    يُرحَم وَلَم يُعتَق مِنَ النارِ

    And woe to one given a long life who is not

    Shown mercy, nor set free from the Fire.

  16. يا أَيُّها الناسُ خُذوا حِذرَكُم

    وَحَصِّنوا الجَنَّةَ لِلنارِ

    O people, take your precautions,

    And fortify the shield against the Fire.

  17. فَإِنَّها مِن شَرِّ أَعدائِكُم

    ما في العِدا أَعدى مِنَ النارِ

    For it is among your worst enemies;

    Among foes, none is more hostile than the Fire.

  18. وَأَكثِروا مِن ذِكرِ مَولاكُمُ

    فَذِكرُهُ يُنجي مِنَ النارِ

    And remember your Master often,

    For remembrance of Him saves from the Fire.

  19. واعَجَباً مِن مَرِحٍ لاعِبٍ

    يَلهو وَلا يَحفِلُ بِالنارِ

    How astonishing is a carefree, playful man,

    Who amuses himself and pays no heed to the Fire.

  20. يوقِنُ بِالنارِ وَلا يَرعَوي

    كَأَنَّهُ يَرتابُ في النارِ

    He is certain of the Fire, yet does not desist,

    As though he doubted the Fire.

  21. وَهوَ بِها في خَطَرٍ بَيِّنٍ

    لَو كاسَ ما خاطَرَ بِالنارِ

    Though he is in clear danger from it,

    Were he wise, he would not risk facing the Fire.

  22. إِنَّ الأَلِبّاءَ هُمُ قِلَّةٌ

    فَرّوا إِلى اللَهِ مِنَ النارِ

    The discerning are indeed few;

    They fled to God from the Fire,

  23. وَطَلَّقوا الدُنيا بَتاتاً وَلَم

    يَلوُوا عَلَيها حَذَرَ النارِ

    And divorced this world irrevocably, never

    Turning back to it, for fear of the Fire.

  24. وَأَبصَروا مِن عَيبِها أَنَّها

    فَتّانَةٌ تَدعو إِلى النارِ

    And saw, among its faults, that it

    Is a temptress calling to the Fire.

  25. فَطابَتِ الأَنفُسُ مِنهُم بِأَن

    أَمَّنَهُم مِن فَزَعِ النارِ

    So their souls became content because

    He made them safe from the terror of the Fire.

  26. وَاللَهِ لَو أَعقِلُ لَم تَكتَحِل

    بِالنَومِ عَيني خيفَةَ النارِ

    By God, had I sense, my eye would not be kohled

    With sleep, for fear of the Fire.

  27. وَلا رَقا دَمعي وَلا عِلمَ لي

    أَنِّيَ في أَمنٍ مِنَ النارِ

    Nor would my tears cease, and I do not know

    That I am safe from the Fire.

  28. وَلَم أَرِد ماءً وَلا ساغَ لي

    إِذا ذَكَرتُ المُهلَ في النارِ

    Nor would I approach water, nor could I swallow it,

    When I recalled the molten metal in the Fire.

  29. وَلَم أَجِد لَذَّةَ طَعمٍ إِذا

    فَكَّرتُ في الزَقّومِ في النارِ

    Nor would I find pleasure in any taste, when

    I thought of Zaqqum in the Fire.

  30. أَيُّ التِذاذٍ بِنَعيمٍ إِذا

    أَدّى إِلى الشَقوَةِ في النارِ

    What delight can there be in bliss, if

    It leads to wretchedness in the Fire?

  31. أَم أَيُّ خَيرٍ في سُرورٍ إِذا

    أَعقَبَ طولَ الحُزنِ في النارِ

    Or what good is there in joy, if

    It brings prolonged sorrow in the Fire?

  32. فَفَكِّروا في هَولِها وَاِحذَروا

    ما حَذَّرَ اللَهُ مِنَ النارِ

    So ponder its terror, and beware

    Of what God has warned against in the Fire.

  33. فَإِنَّها راصِدَةٌ أَهلَها

    تَدُعُّهُم دَعّاً إِلى النارِ

    For it lies in wait for its people,

    Thrusting them violently into the Fire.

  34. فَلَيسَ مِثلي طالِباً حَبَّةً

    إِلّا المُعافاةَ مِنَ النارِ

    For one like me seeks not a single grain,

    Save deliverance from the Fire.

  35. وَطالَما استَرحَمتُهُ ضارِعاً

    يا رَبُّ حَرِّمني عَلى النارِ

    And how often I have begged His mercy, humbly pleading:

    O Lord, make me forbidden to the Fire.

  36. فَأَنتَ مَولايَ وَلا رَبَّ لي

    غَيرُكَ أَعتِقني مِنَ النارِ

    For You are my Master, and I have no Lord

    But You; free me from the Fire.

  37. وَلَم تَزَل تَسمَعُني قائِلاً

    أَعوذُ بِاللَهِ مِنَ النارِ

    And You have never ceased to hear me saying:

    I seek refuge in God from the Fire.
