83:1 Woe unto the defrauders:
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
83:2 Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
83:3 But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
83:4 Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
83:5 Unto an Awful Day,
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
83:6 The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
83:7 Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
83:8 Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
83:9 A written record.
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
83:10 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
83:11 Those who deny the Day of Judgment
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
83:12 Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
83:13 Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
83:14 Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
83:15 Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
83:16 Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
83:17 And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
83:18 Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
83:19 Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
كِتَـٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
83:20 A written record,
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
83:21 Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
83:22 Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
83:23 On couches, gazing,
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
83:24 Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
83:25 They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ
83:26 Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
83:27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
83:28 A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
83:29 Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
83:30 And wink one to another when they passed them;
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
83:31 And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
83:32 And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ
83:33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
83:34 This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
83:35 On high couches, gazing.
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
83:36 Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
