Bu suraning ohangi ham ulug‘vor, ham hayratlantiruvchidir; go‘yo baland joyda turgan ogohlantiruvchining ovozi bo‘lib, uning so‘zlari og‘ir urg‘u bilan jaranglab yangraydi. U uyquga ketgan, mast, chalkashib ketgan odamlarga murojaat qiladi. Ular ko‘zlari yumuq, his-tuyg‘ulari to‘mtoq holda jarlik tomon yaqinlashmoqda. Shu sababli ogohlantiruvchi ovozini chegarasigacha kuchaytiradi: “Ko‘proq va ko‘proq narsaga bo‘lgan ochko‘zlik sizni qabrlaringizga borguningizcha band qildi.” (1-2-oyatlar)

This sūrah has a rhythm that is both majestic and awe-inspiring; as if it were the voice of a warner standing on a high place, projecting his voice as it rings out in weighty emphasis. He calls out to people who are drowsy, drunken, confused. They approach a precipice with their eyes closed and their feelings numbed. So the warner increases the volume of his voice to the limit: “You are preoccupied by greed for more and more, until you go down to your graves.” (Verses 1-2)

Ey mast va chalg'igan to'da! Siz, dunyo lazzatlari, boylik, bolalar va turmush zavqlari uchun bir-biringiz bilan raqobatlashib, ularga berilib ketgan kishilar! Albatta, undan ajralib ketasizlar! Siz, qo'lingizdagi narsalar bilan band bo'lib, undan keyin nima kelishini bilmaysiz! Siz, shu raqobat ob'ekti bo'lgan narsalarni, va o'zingiz bilan faxrlanadigan narsalarni qoldirib, raqobat va faxr yo'q bo'lgan tor go'ristonga boradigan kishilar! Hammangiz uyg'oning va atrofingizga qarang! Albatta, "Ko'proq ko'paytirish ishtiyoqi sizni qabrlarga kirguncha band qildi." ({Takasur} surasi, 1-2-oyatlar)

You drunken and confused lot! You who take delight and indulge in rivalry for wealth, children and the pleasures of this life, from which you are sure to depart! You who are absorbed with what you have, unaware of what comes afterwards! You who will leave the object of this rivalry, and what you seek pride in, and go to a narrow hole where there is no rivalry or pride! Wake up and look around, all of you! For indeed, “you are preoccupied by greed for more and more, until you go down to your graves.” (Verses 1-2)

Shundan so'ng, surә o'zining chuqur va og'ir ohangi bilan ularning qalblarini qabrlarida qoldirilgandan keyin ularni kutayotgan dahshat bilan uradi: "Yo'q, tez orada bilib olasiz." (3-oyat) So'ng u xuddi shu ohangni takrorlaydi, o'sha so'zlar va o'sha qat'iy hamda dahshatli ritm bilan: "Yana, tez orada bilib olasiz!" (4-oyat) So'ngra bu ogohlantirishning chuqurligi va ulug'vorligiga yana qo'shadi hamda ortda turgan og'ir kelajakka ishora qiladi, uning dahshatli mohiyatini ular dunyoviy boylik uchun raqobat va mastlik ichida tan olmaydilar: "Agar siz haqiqatni aniq bilganingizda edi..." (5-oyat)

With a deep and grave rhythm the sūrah then strikes their hearts with the terror awaiting them after they are left in their graves: “Nay, in time you will come to know.” (Verse 3) Then it repeats the same note, employing the same words and the same firm and terrifying rhythm: “Again, in time you will come to know!” (Verse 4) Then it adds to the depth and awe of this assurance, and hints at the grave prospect that lies beyond, the terrifying essence of which they do not recognize in their flush of intoxication and rivalry for worldly riches: “Indeed, were you to know [the truth] with certainty...” (Verse 5)
