بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Wailul lil mutaffifeen
Woe to the stinters;
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
Allazeena izak taaloo 'alan naasi yastawfoon
those who, when they take from others by measure, take their full share;
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Wa izaa kaaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroon
but who, when they measure or weigh for others, give less than their due.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Alaa yazunnu ulaaa'ika annahum mab'oosoon
Do they not realise that they will be raised to life
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
Li Yawmin 'Azeem
on a Great Day,
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Yawma yaqoomun naasu li Rabbil 'aalameen
a Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Universe?
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍۢ
Kallaaa inna kitaabal fujjaari lafee Sijjeen
No indeed! Verily the deeds of the wicked are in the Record locked up in the prison-house!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌۭ
Wa maa adraaka maa Sijjeen
And how would you know what the Record of the prison-house is?
كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
Kitaabum marqoom
It is a Book inscribed.
وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Wailuny yawma'izil lil mukazzibeen
Woe, then, to those that give the lie,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Allazeena yukazziboona bi yawmid deen
those that give the lie to the Day of Recompense.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Wa maa yukazzibu biheee illaa kullu mu'tadin aseem
Yet none gives the lie to it except the transgressor immersed in sin;
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Izaa tutlaa'alaihi aayaatunaa qaala asaateerul awwaleen
who, when Our verses are recited to him, says: “Mere tales of olden times!”
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Kallaa bal raana 'alaa quloobihim maa kaanoo yaksiboon
No indeed! The truth is that their hearts have become rusted on account of their evil deeds.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Kallaaa innahum 'ar Rabbihim yawma'izil lamah jooboon
No indeed! On that Day they will be screened off from seeing their Lord,
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Summa innahum lasaa lul jaheem
and then they shall enter Hell,
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Summa yuqaalu haazal lazee kuntum bihee tukazziboon
whereafter they will be told: “This is what you used to give the lie to.”
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
Kallaaa inna kitaabal abraari lafee'Illiyyeen
No indeed! Verily, the deeds of the virtuous shall be in the record of the exalted ones.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
Wa maaa adraaka maa 'Illiyyoon
And what do you know what the Record of the exalted ones is?
كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ
Kitaabum marqoom
It is a Book inscribed,
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Yashhadu hul muqarra boon
which the angels placed near Allah to safeguard.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
Innal abraara lafee Na'eem
Verily the virtuous shall be in Bliss;
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
'Alal araaa'iki yanzuroon
resting on couches, looking around.
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Ta'rifu fee wujoohihim nadratan na'eem
You shall see upon their faces the glow of bliss.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍۢ مَّخْتُومٍ
Yusqawna mir raheeqim makhtoom
They will be served a drink of the finest sealed wine,
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌۭ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
Khitaamuhoo misk; wa fee zaalika falyatanaafasil Mutanaafisoon
whose seal is musk – so let all aspirants aspire after that –
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
Wa mizaajuhoo min Tasneem
a wine whose mixture is Tasnim,
عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
'Ainaiy yashrabu bihal muqarraboon
a fountain at which the chosen ones shall drink.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
Innal lazeena ajramoo kaanoo minal lazeena aamanoo yadhakoon
Behold, the wicked were wont to laugh at the believers:
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
Wa izaa marroo bihim yataghaamazoon
when they passed by them they winked,
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
Wa izan qalabooo ilaaa ahlihimun qalaboo fakiheen
and when they went back to their families, they went back jesting,
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
Wa izaa ra awhum qaalooo inna haaa'ulaaa'i ladaaal loon
and when they saw the believers, they said: “Lo! These are the erring ones”;
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
Wa maaa ursiloo 'alaihim haafizeen
(they said so although) they had not been appointed watchers over them.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
Fal yawmal lazeena aamanoo minal kuffaari yadhakoon
But today the believers are laughing at the unbelievers;
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
'Alal araaa'iki yanzuroon
seated upon their couches, they are looking around.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
Hal suwwibal kuffaaru maa kaanoo yaf'aloon
Have the unbelievers been duly rewarded for their deeds?
