1 Woe to the defrauders,

1 Waylun lilmutaffifeena

2 Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,

2 Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

3 But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.

3 Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

4 Do not these think that they shall be raised again

4 Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

5 For a mighty day,

5 Liyawmin AAatheemin

6 The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?

6 Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

7 Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.

7 Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

8 And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?

8 Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

9 It is a written book.

9 Kitabun marqoomun

10 Woe on that day to the rejecters,

10 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

11 Who give the lie to the day of judgment.

11 Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

12 And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one

12 Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

13 When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.

13 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

14 Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.

14 Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

15 Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.

15 Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

16 Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

16 Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

17 Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

17 Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

18 Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.

18 Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena

19 And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?

19 Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

20 It is a written book,

20 Kitabun marqoomun

21 Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.

21 Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

22 Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,

22 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

23 On thrones, they shall gaze;

23 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

24 You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.

24 TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

25 They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).

25 Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

26 The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.

26 Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

27 And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

27 Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

28 A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).

28 AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

29 Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.

29 Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

30 And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

31 And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

32 And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

33 And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

34 So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

34 Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

35 On thrones, they will look.

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

36 Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.

36 Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
