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 ? |
