Al Mutaffine

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:

1 Waylun lilmutaffifeena

2 Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

2 Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

3 But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.

3 Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

4 Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again

4 Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

5 Unto an Awful Day,

5 Liyawmin AAatheemin

6 The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?

6 Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

7 Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -

7 Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

8 Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -

8 Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

9 A written record.

9 Kitabun marqoomun

10 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

10 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment

11 Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

12 Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,

12 Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

13 Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.

13 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

14 Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.

14 Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

15 Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.

15 Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

16 Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,

16 Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

17 And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.

17 Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

18 Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -

18 Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena

19 Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -

19 Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

20 A written record,

20 Kitabun marqoomun

21 Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).

21 Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

22 Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,

22 Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

23 On couches, gazing,

23 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

24 Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.

24 TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

25 They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,

25 Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

26 Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

26 Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

27 Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

28 A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

28 AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

29 Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

29 Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

31 And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

32 And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

34 This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

34 Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

35 On high couches, gazing.

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

36 Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?

36 Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
