| وَيْلٌ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ {١} |
1. WOE TO THOSE who give short measure, |
| الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ {٢} |
2. Who insist on being given full when they take from others, |
| وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ {٣} |
3. Whilst when they measure or weigh for them, give less. |
| أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ {٤} |
4. Do they not think they will be raised (to life) again |
| لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ {٥} |
5. On a grievous day, |
| يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ {٦} |
6. The day all mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds? |
| كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ {٧} |
7. Indeed the ledger of the wicked will be in (the lowest depths) Sijjin. |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ {٨} |
8. How will you comprehend what Sijjin is? |
| كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ {٩} |
9. It is a (repository of) distinctly written record. |
| وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ {١٠} |
10. Ah the woe that day for those who deny, |
| الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ {١١} |
11. Who call the Day of judgement a lie! |
| وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ {١٢} |
12. None denies it but the sinful transgressors. |
| إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ {١٣} |
13. When Our revelations are recited before him, he says: "These are fables of long ago." |
| كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ {١٤} |
14. No. In fact what they have been doing has rusted their hearts. |
| كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ {١٥} |
15. Therefore they will be screened off from their Lord that day, |
| ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ {١٦} |
16. Then they will indeed burn in Hell. |
| ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ {١٧} |
17. They will then be told: "This is what you had denied." |
| كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ {١٨} |
18. Surely the ledger of the pious will be in ´Illiyun (heights above the heights). |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ {١٩} |
19. But how will you comprehend what ´Illiyun is? |
| كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ {٢٠} |
20. It is a (repository of) distinctly written record |
| يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ {٢١} |
21. Witnessed by those who are honoured. |
| إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ {٢٢} |
22. Verily the pious will be in heaven, |
| عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ {٢٣} |
23. On couches face to face. |
| تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ {٢٤} |
24. On their faces you will see the glow of beatitude. |
| يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ رَحِيقٍ مَخْتُومٍ {٢٥} |
25. They will be served the choicest wine, sealed |
| خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ {٢٦} |
26. With a sealing of musk, which those who aspire for the best should desire, -- |
| وَمِزَاجُهُ مِنْ تَسْنِيمٍ {٢٧} |
27. Blended with the water of Tasnim, (heights ultimate of evolution), |
| عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ {٢٨} |
28. A fountain from which only they who are honoured drink. |
| إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ {٢٩} |
29. The sinners indeed laughed at believers |
| وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ {٣٠} |
30. And winked at one another as they passed by them; |
| وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ {٣١} |
31. And when they went back to their people turned to make fun of them; |
| وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ {٣٢} |
32. And when they saw them, they said: "They have indeed gone astray." |
| وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ {٣٣} |
33. But they were not Sent to be guardians over them! |
| فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ {٣٤} |
34. So, the believers will laugh at the infidels on that day, |
| عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ {٣٥} |
35. Regarding them from their cushioned seats. |
| هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ {٣٦} |
36. Will not the infidels pay for what they had done? |
