| 1 | Woe unto the defrauders: | |
| |
| 2 | Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full, | |
| |
| 3 | But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss. | |
| |
| 4 | Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again | |
| |
| 5 | Unto an Awful Day, | |
| |
| 6 | The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds? | |
| |
| 7 | Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin - | |
| |
| 8 | Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! - | |
| |
| 9 | A written record. | |
| |
| 10 | Woe unto the repudiators on that day! | |
| |
| 11 | Those who deny the Day of Judgment | |
| |
| 12 | Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor, | |
| |
| 13 | Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old. | |
| |
| 14 | Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts. | |
| |
| 15 | Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord. | |
| |
| 16 | Then lo! they verily will burn in hell, | |
| |
| 17 | And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny. | |
| |
| 18 | Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin - | |
| |
| 19 | Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! - | |
| |
| 20 | A written record, | |
| |
| 21 | Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord). | |
| |
| 22 | Lo! the righteous verily are in delight, | |
| |
| 23 | On couches, gazing, | |
| |
| 24 | Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight. | |
| |
| 25 | They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed, | |
| |
| 26 | Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss - | |
| |
| 27 | And mixed with water of Tasnim, | |
| |
| 28 | A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink. | |
| |
| 29 | Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed, | |
| |
| 30 | And wink one to another when they passed them; | |
| |
| 31 | And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting; | |
| |
| 32 | And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray. | |
| |
| 33 | Yet they were not sent as guardians over them. | |
| |
| 34 | This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers, | |
| |
| 35 | On high couches, gazing. | |
| |
| 36 | Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do? | |
| |
