83. Al-Mutaffifin

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
