Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those who give less [than due],
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
For a tremendous Day -
ليوم عظيم

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
وما أدراك ما سجين
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed.

Who deny the Day of Recompense.
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين

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

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah].

يسقون من رحيق مختوم
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And its mixture is of Tasneem,
ومزاجه من تسنيم

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.
عينا يشرب بها المقربون
A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On adorned couches, observing.
على الأرائك ينظرون
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
