بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
waylun lil'muṭaffifīna
Woe to the defrauders!
alladhīna idhā ik'tālū ʿalā l-nāsi yastawfūna
Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people,
wa-idhā kālūhum aw wazanūhum yukh'sirūna
but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers.
alā yaẓunnu ulāika annahum mabʿūthūna
Do such people not think that they will be resurrected
liyawmin ʿaẓīmin
for a tremendous Day—
yawma yaqūmu l-nāsu lirabbi l-ʿālamīna
the Day ˹all˺ people will stand before the Lord of all worlds?
kallā inna kitāba l-fujāri lafī sijjīnin
But no! The wicked are certainly bound for Sijjîn ˹in the depths of Hell˺—
wamā adrāka mā sijjīnun
and what will make you realize what Sijjîn is?—
kitābun marqūmun
a fate ˹already˺ sealed.
waylun yawma-idhin lil'mukadhibīna
Woe on that Day to the deniers—
alladhīna yukadhibūna biyawmi l-dīni
those who deny Judgment Day!
wamā yukadhibu bihi illā kullu muʿ'tadin athīmin
None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor.
idhā tut'lā ʿalayhi āyātunā qāla asāṭīru l-awalīna
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”
kallā bal rāna ʿalā qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūna
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit!
kallā innahum ʿan rabbihim yawma-idhin lamaḥjūbūna
Undoubtedly, they will be sealed off from their Lord on that Day.
thumma innahum laṣālū l-jaḥīmi
Moreover, they will surely burn in Hell,
thumma yuqālu hādhā alladhī kuntum bihi tukadhibūna
and then be told, “This is what you used to deny.”
kallā inna kitāba l-abrāri lafī ʿilliyyīna
But no! The virtuous are certainly bound for ’Illiyûn ˹in elevated Gardens˺—
wamā adrāka mā ʿilliyyūna
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
kitābun marqūmun
a fate ˹already˺ sealed,
yashhaduhu l-muqarabūna
witnessed by those nearest ˹to Allah˺.
inna l-abrāra lafī naʿīmin
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss,
ʿalā l-arāiki yanẓurūna
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.
taʿrifu fī wujūhihim naḍrata l-naʿīmi
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.
yus'qawna min raḥīqin makhtūmin
They will be given a drink of sealed, pure wine,
khitāmuhu mis'kun wafī dhālika falyatanāfasi l-mutanāfisūna
whose last sip will smell like musk. So let whoever aspires to this strive ˹diligently˺.
wamizājuhu min tasnīmin
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
ʿaynan yashrabu bihā l-muqarabūna
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
inna alladhīna ajramū kānū mina alladhīna āmanū yaḍḥakūna
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
wa-idhā marrū bihim yataghāmazūna
wink to one another whenever they passed by,
