Woe to the defrauders, who use short measures

Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

who, when they measure [a commodity bought] from the people, take the full measure

Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

Wa 'Idhā Kālūhum 'Aw Wazanūhum Yukhsirūna

but diminish when they measure or weigh for them

Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

Alā Yažunnu 'Ūla'ika 'Annahum Mab`ūthūna

Do they not know that they will be resurrected

on a tremendous day

Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

a day when mankind will stand before the Lord of all the worlds

Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

Kallā 'Inna Kitāba Al-Fujjāri Lafī Sijjīnin

Indeed, the record of the vicious is in Sijjeen

Wama adraka ma sijjeenun

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā Sijjīnun

And what will show you what is Sijjeen

Kitabun marqoomun

Kitābun Marqūmun

It is a written record

Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

Waylun Yawma'idhin Lilmukadhibīna

Woe to the deniers on that day

Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

Al-Ladhīna Yukadhibūna Biyawmi Ad-Dīni

who deny the Day of Retribution

Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

Wa Mā Yukadhibu Bihi 'Illā Kullu Mu`tadin 'Athīmin

and none denies it except every sinful transgressor

Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

Idhā Tutlá `Alayhi 'Āyātunā Qāla 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna

When Our signs are recited to him, he says, ‘Myths of the ancients!’

Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

Kallā Bal Rāna `Alá Qulūbihim Mā Kānū Yaksibūna

No, that is not the case! Rather, their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning

Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

Kallā 'Innahum `An Rabbihim Yawma'idhin Lamaĥjūbūna

Indeed, they will be alienated from their Lord on that day

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

Thumma 'Innahum Laşālū Al-Jaĥīmi

Afterward they will enter hell

Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

then told, ‘This is what you used to deny!’

Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

Wa Mā 'Adrāka Mā `Illīyūna

And what will show you what is Illeeyun

Kitabun marqoomun

Kitābun Marqūmun

It is a written record

Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona

Yash/haduhu Al-Muqarrabūna

witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]

Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

Inna Al-'Abrāra Lafī Na`īmin

The pious shall be amid bliss

AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

Alá Al-'Arā'iki Yanžurūna

observing, [as they recline] on couches

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

Ta`rifu Fī Wujūhihim Nađrata An-Na`īmi

You will perceive in their faces the freshness of bliss

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

They will be served with a sealed pure wine

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

Inna Al-Ladhīna 'Ajramū Kānū Mina Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Yađĥakūna

Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the faithful

Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

Wa 'Idhā Marrū Bihim Yataghāmazūna

and when they passed them by they would wink at each other

Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

Wa 'Idhā Anqalabū 'Ilá 'Ahlihimu Anqalabū Fakihīna

and when they returned to their folks they would return amused

Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

Wa 'Idhā Ra'awhum Qālū 'Inna Hā'uulā' Lađāllūna

and when they saw them they would say, ‘Indeed those are the astray!’

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

Wa Mā 'Ursilū `Alayhim Ĥāfižīna

Though they were not sent to watch over them

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

Fālyawma Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Mina Al-Kuffāri Yađĥakūna

So today the faithful will laugh at the faithless

AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

Alá Al-'Arā'iki Yanžurūna

observing from their couches

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona

Hal Thūwiba Al-Kuffāru Mā Kānū Yaf`alūna

Have the faithless been requited for what they used to do
