In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Unto an Awful Day,
Liyawmin AAatheemin
ليوم عظيم
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
وما أدراك ما سجين
A written record.
Kitabun marqoomun
كتاب مرقوم
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
ثم يقال هذا الذي كنتم به تكذبون
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena
كلا إن كتاب الأبرار لفي عليين
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
وما أدراك ما عليون
A written record,
Kitabun marqoomun
كتاب مرقوم
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
يشهده المقربون
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
On couches, gazing,
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
على الأرائك ينظرون
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
ومزاجه من تسنيم
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona
عينا يشرب بها المقربون
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
And wink one to another when they passed them;
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
On high couches, gazing.
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
على الأرائك ينظرون
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
