2 Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,

2 Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

3 Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected (for reckoning),

8 And what will make you know what Sijjin is?

8 Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

11 Those who deny the Day of Recompense.

11 Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

12 And none can deny it except every transgressor beyond bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah) the sinner!

12 Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

13 When Our Verses (of the Qur'an) are recited to him he says: "Tales of the ancients!"

13 Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

14 Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.

14 Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

15 Nay! Surely they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.

19 And what will make you know what 'Illiyyun is?

19 Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

24 You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight.

24 TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

25 They will be given to drink of pure sealed wine.

25 Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

26 The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of Musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah).

26 Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

27 It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim:

27 Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

28 A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

28 AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

29 Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

29 Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

30 And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery).

30 Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

31 And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

31 Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

32 And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"

32 Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

33 But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).

33 Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

34 But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

34 Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

35 On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).

35 AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

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

36 Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
