وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Waylun lilmutaffifeena

الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

but diminish when they measure or weigh for them

Wa-itha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

Do they not know that they will be resurrecte

Ala yathunnu ola-ika annahum mabAAoothoona

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

on a tremendous day

Liyawmin AAatheemin

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ

No indeed! The record of the vicious is indeed in Sijja«n

Kalla inna kitaba alfujjari lafee sijjeenin

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ

And what will show you what is Sijja«n

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe to the deniers on that day

Waylun yawma-ithin lilmukaththibeena

الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ

Ali Quli Qara'i

who deny the Day of Retribution

Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

Ali Quli Qara'i

and none denies it except every sinful transgressor

Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru al-awwaleena

كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

No indeed! Rather their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning

Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona

كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

No indeed! They will be alienated from their Lord on that day

Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawma-ithin lamahjooboona

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُو الْجَحِيمِ

Ali Quli Qara'i

Then they will indeed enter hell

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

No indeed! The record of the pious is indeed in 'Illiyun

Kalla inna kitaba al-abrari lafee AAilliyyeena

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

And what will show you what is 'Illiyun

Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona

It is a written record

Kitabun marqoomun

يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

witnessed by those brought near [to Allah]

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ

Ali Quli Qara'i

You will perceive in their faces the freshness of blis

TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ

Ali Quli Qara'i

as they are served with a sealed wine

Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin

خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

whose seal is musk —for such let the viers vie—

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona

وَمِزَاجُهُ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

Ali Quli Qara'i

and whose seasoning is from Tasna«m

Wamizajuhu min tasneemin

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا الْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

a spring where those brought near [to Allah] drink

AAaynan yashrabu biha almuqarraboona

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا كَانُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَضْحَكُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

Indeed the guilty used to laugh at the faithful

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

وَإِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

and when they returned to their folks they would return rejoicing

Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

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

Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-i ladalloona

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

Though they were not sent to watch over them

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

So today the faithful will laugh at the faithless

Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

observing from couches

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ

Ali Quli Qara'i

Have the faithless been requited for what they used to do

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
