بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

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?
