ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
The craving for ever-greater worldly gains and to excel others in that regard keeps you occupied
حَتَّىٰ
until you reach your graves
كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
Nay, you will soon come to know
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ
nay, again, you shall soon come to know
كَلَّا لَوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عِلۡمَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ
Nay, would that you knew with certainty of knowledge (what your attitude will lead to, you would never have acted the way you do)
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ
You will surely end up seeing Hell
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيۡنَ ٱلۡيَقِينِ
again, you shall most certainly end up seeing it with absolute certainty
ثُمَّ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Then, on that Day, you will be called to account for all the bounties you enjoyed
