Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona

Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully

Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

Wa 'Idhā Kālūhum 'Aw Wazanūhum Yukhsirūna

But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient

Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona

Alā Yažunnu 'Ūla'ika 'Annahum Mab`ūthūna

Do not these think that they shall be raised again

For a mighty day

Waylun Yawma'idhin Lilmukadhibīna

Woe on that day to the rejecters

Al-Ladhīna Yukadhibūna Biyawmi Ad-Dīni

Who give the lie to the day of judgment

Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

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

And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one

Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena

Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts

Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona

Kallā 'Innahum `An Rabbihim Yawma'idhin Lamaĥjūbūna

Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord

Thumma 'Innahum Laşālū Al-Jaĥīmi

Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire

Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is

Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it

Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin

Inna Al-'Abrāra Lafī Na`īmin

Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss

AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

Alá Al-'Arā'iki Yanžurūna

On thrones, they shall gaze

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

Ta`rifu Fī Wujūhihim Nađrata An-Na`īmi

You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

Yusqawna Min Raĥīqin Makhtūmin

They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others)

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

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

Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe

Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

Wa 'Idhā Marrū Bihim Yataghāmazūna

And when they passed by them, they winked at one another

Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

Wa 'Idhā Anqalabū 'Ilá 'Ahlihimu Anqalabū Fakihīna

And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting

Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona

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

And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

Wa Mā 'Ursilū `Alayhim Ĥāfižīna

And they were not sent to be keepers over them

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

Fālyawma Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Mina Al-Kuffāri Yađĥakūna

So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers

AAala alaraiki yanthuroona

Alá Al-'Arā'iki Yanžurūna

On thrones, they will look

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona

Hal Thūwiba Al-Kuffāru Mā Kānū Yaf`alūna

Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did
