Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
(3) وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
(4) أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ أَنَّہُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ
Do such men not consider that they will be raised again
(5) لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٍ۬
Unto an awful Day,
(6) يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ

(9) كِتَـٰبٌ۬ مَّرۡقُومٌ۬
A written record.
(10) وَيۡلٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

(11) ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
(12) وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦۤ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
(13) إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Who, when Our revelations are recited unto him, saith: Mere fables of the men of old.

Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
(15) كَلَّآ إِنَّہُمۡ عَن رَّبِّہِمۡ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from the mercy of their Lord.
(16) ثُمَّ إِنَّہُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
(17) ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

(20) كِتَـٰبٌ۬ مَّرۡقُومٌ۬
A written record,
(21) يَشۡہَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
Attested by those who are brought near unto their Lord.
(22) إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
(23) عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On couches, gazing,
(24) تَعۡرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
(25) يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ۬ مَّخۡتُومٍ
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
(26) خِتَـٰمُهُ ۥ مِسۡكٌ۬ۚ وَفِى ذَٲلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ

(28) عَيۡنً۬ا يَشۡرَبُ بِہَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
A spring whence those brought near to Allah drink.
(29) إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
(30) وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِہِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And wink one to another when they passed them;
(31) وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
(32) وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
(33) وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡہِمۡ حَـٰفِظِينَ
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
(34) فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
(35) عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On high couches, gazing.
(36) هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?
