1.  *     Woe to the cheaters!
 
2.  *     Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men, take it fully,
 
3.  *     And when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they give less than is due.
 
4.  *     Do they not think that they will be raised again,
 
5.  *     To a mighty day? --
 
6.  *     The day when men will stand before the Lord of the worlds.
 
7.  *     Nay, surely the record of the wicked is in the prison.
 
8.  *     And what will make thee know what the prison is?
 
9.  *     It is a written book.
 
10.  *     Woe on that day to the rejectors!
 
11.  *     Who give the lie to the day of Judgment.
 
12.  *     And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, every sinful one;
 
13.  *     When Our messages are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore!
 
14.  *     Nay, rather, what they earned is rust upon their hearts.
 
15.  *     Nay, surely they are that day debarred form their Lord.
 
16.  *     Then they will surely enter the burning Fire.
 
17.  *     Then it will be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
 
18.  *     Nay, surely the record of the righteous is in the highest places.
 
19.  *     And what will make thee know what the highest places are?
 
20.  *     It is a written book.
 
21.  *     Those drawn near (to Allah) witness it.
 
22.  *     Surely the righteous are in bliss,
 
23.  *     On raised couches, gazing --
 
24.  *     Thou recognizest in their faces the brightness of bliss.
 
25.  *     They are given to drink of a pure drink, sealed.
 
26.  *     The sealing of it is (with) musk. And for that let the aspirers aspire.
 
27.  *     And it is tempered with water coming from above --
 
28.  *     A fountain from which drink those drawn near (to Allah).
 
29.  *     Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
 
30.  *     And when they passed by them, they winked at one another,
 
31.  *     And when they returned to their people, they returned exulting.
 
32.  *     And when they saw them, they said: Surely these are in error --
 
33.  *     And they were not sent as keepers over them.
 
34.  *     So this day those who believe laugh at the disbelievers --
 
35.  *     On raised couches, gazing.
 
36.  *     Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
