1.  *     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?
