Chapter 83, 36 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Woe to the defrauders,
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
ليوم عظيم
For a mighty day,
On a Mighty Day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
وما أدراك ما سجين

ويل يومئذ للمكذبين

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم

And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين

كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون

كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.

ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون

على الأرائك ينظرون
On thrones, they will look.
