Woe to those who give less [than due],
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
For a tremendous Day -
ليوم عظيم
Liyawmin AAatheemin
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

وما أدراك ما سجين
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.
كتاب مرقوم

Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
ثم يقال هذا الذي كنتم به تكذبون
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].
يشهده المقربون
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
On adorned couches, observing.
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
On adorned couches, observing.
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
