بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Woe unto the defrauders: 83:1

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full, 83:2

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss. 83:3

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ

Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again 83:4

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Unto an Awful Day, 83:5

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds? 83:6

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ

Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin - 83:7

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! - 83:8

كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record. 83:9

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 83:10

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Those who deny the Day of Judgment 83:11

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor, 83:12

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old. 83:13

كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts. 83:14

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord. 83:15

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Then lo! they verily will burn in hell, 83:16

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny. 83:17

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ

Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin - 83:18

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! - 83:19

كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ

A written record, 83:20

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord). 83:21

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ

Lo! the righteous verily are in delight, 83:22

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On couches, gazing, 83:23

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight. 83:24

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ

They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed, 83:25

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed, 83:29

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

And wink one to another when they passed them; 83:30

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ

And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting; 83:31

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ

And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray. 83:32

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them. 83:33

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers, 83:34

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
