[1] Woe unto the defrauders:
[2] Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
[3] But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
[4] Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
[5] Unto an Awful Day,
[6] The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
[7] Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
[8] Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
[9] A written record.
[10] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[11] Those who deny the Day of Judgment
[12] Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
[13] Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
[14] Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
[15] Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
[16] Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
[17] And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
[18] Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
[19] Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
[20] A written record,
[21] Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
[22] Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
[23] On couches, gazing,
[24] Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
[25] They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
[26] Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
[27] And mixed with water of Tasnim,
[28] A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
[29] Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
[30] And wink one to another when they passed them;
[31] And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
[32] And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
[33] Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
[34] This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
[35] On high couches, gazing.
[36] Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
