Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل للمطففين
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
الذين إذا اكتالوا على الناس يستوفون
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
وإذا كالوهم أو وزنوهم يخسرون
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
ألا يظن أولئك أنهم مبعوثون
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
On a Mighty Day,
ليوم عظيم
Liyawmin AAatheemin
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
يوم يقوم الناس لرب العالمين

Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
كلا إن كتاب الفجار لفي سجين
Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
وما أدراك ما سجين
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

Kitabun marqoomun
Woe, that Day, to those that deny -
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
الذين يكذبون بيوم الدين
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
وما يكذب به إلا كل معتد أثيم
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
إذا تتلى عليه آياتنا قال أساطير الأولين
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
كلا ۖ بل ۜ ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,
كتاب مرقوم
Kitabun marqoomun
To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).
يشهده المقربون
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.
تعرف في وجوههم نضرة النعيم
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:
يسقون من رحيق مختوم
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
ختامه مسك ۚ وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:
ومزاجه من تسنيم
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
A spring, from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to Allah.
عينا يشرب بها المقربون
AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
إن الذين أجرموا كانوا من الذين آمنوا يضحكون
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
وإذا مروا بهم يتغامزون
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
وإذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم انقلبوا فكهين
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
وإذا رأوهم قالوا إن هؤلاء لضالون
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
وما أرسلوا عليهم حافظين
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
على الأرائك ينظرون
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
هل ثوب الكفار ما كانوا يفعلون
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
