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