Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those who give less [than due],
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
For a tremendous Day -
Liyawmin AAatheemin
ليوم عظيم
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
وما أدراك ما سجين

Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين

كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
ثم إنهم لصالو الجحيم
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
ثم يقال هذا الذي كنتم به تكذبون

يشهده المقربون

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed.
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون

Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين

Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
