Have you seen someone who doesn't believe in judgement?
It's someone who turns his back on the orphan,
Who makes no effort to feed the needy.
Woe to those who don't take prayer seriously,
who put on a show,
but fail to care.

Commentary
Extensive rhyme and assonance throughout: -een/-eem endings (on judgement, orphan, needy and prayer), followed by -oon sounds for the final three lines (not seriously, show, care).
The surah appears to fall into two 3-verse parts following this rhyme scheme. The whole hangs together well linking depth of prayer with action.
