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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Who deny the Day of Recompense.

الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

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