بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ ١
83:1 Woe to those who give less [than due]
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ ٢
83:2 Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ ٣
83:3 But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ ٤
83:4 Do they not think that they will be resurrected
لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ ٥
83:5 For a tremendous Day
يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦
83:6 The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ ٧
83:7 No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ ٨
83:8 And what can make you know what is sijjeen
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ ٩
83:9 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٠
83:10 Woe, that Day, to the deniers
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ١١
83:11 Who deny the Day of Recompense
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ١٢
83:12 And none deny it except every sinful transgressor
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
83:13 When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples
كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٤
83:14 No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ ١٥
83:15 No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١٦
83:16 Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ١٧
83:17 Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ ١٨
83:18 No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in 'illiyyun
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ١٩
83:19 And what can make you know what is 'illiyyun
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ ٢٠
83:20 It is [their destination recorded in] a register inscribed
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢١
83:21 Which is witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ ٢٢
83:22 Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٢٣
83:23 On adorned couches, observing
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ٢٤
83:24 You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ ٢٥
83:25 They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ٢٦
83:26 The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ ٢٧
83:27 And its mixture is of Tasneem
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ ٢٨
83:28 A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ ٢٩
83:29 Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ٣٠
83:30 And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ ٣١
83:31 And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ٣٢
83:32 And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ ٣٣
83:33 But they had not been sent as guardians over them
فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ ٣٤
83:34 So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ٣٥
83:35 On adorned couches, observing
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٣٦
83:36 Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do
