| 1. * | Woe be unto those who give short measure or weight; |
| 2. * | who, when they receive by measure from other men, take the full; |
| 3. * | but when they measure unto them, or weigh unto them, defraud! |
| 4. * | Do not these think they shall be raised again, |
| 5. * | at the great day; |
| 6. * | the day whereon mankind shall stand before the Lord of all creatures? |
| 7. * | By no means. Verily the register of the actions of the wicked is surely in Sejjin. |
| 8. * | And what shall make thee to understand what Sejjin is? |
| 9. * | It is a book distinctly written. |
| 10. * | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture; |
| 11. * | who denied the day of judgement as a falsehood! |
| 12. * | And none denieth the same as falsehood, except every unjust and flagitious person: |
| 13. * | Who, when our signs are rehearsed unto him, saith, they are fables of the ancients. |
| 14. * | By no means: But rather their lusts have cast a vail over their hearts. |
| 15. * | By no means. Verily they shall be shut out from their Lord on that day; |
| 16. * | and they shall be sent into hell to be burned: |
| 17. * | Then shall it be said unto them, by the infernal guards, this is what ye denied as a falsehood. |
| 18. * | Assuredly. But the register of the actions of the righteous is in Illiyyun: |
| 19. * | And what shall cause thee to understand what Illiyyun is? |
| 20. * | It is a book distinctly written: |
| 21. * | Those who approach near unto God, are witnesses thereto. |
| 22. * | Verily the righteous shall dwell among delights: |
| 23. * | Seated on couches they shall behold objects of pleasure; |
| 24. * | thou shalt see in their faces the brightness of joy. |
| 25. * | They shall be given to drink of pure wine, sealed; |
| 26. * | the seal whereof shall be musk: And to this let those aspire, who aspire to happiness: |
| 27. * | And the water mixed therewith shall be of Tasnim, |
| 28. * | a fountain whereof those shall drink who approach near unto the divine presence. |
| 29. * | They who act wickedly laugh the true believers to scorn; |
| 30. * | and when they pass by them, they wink at one another: |
| 31. * | And when they turn aside to their people, they turn aside making scurrilous jests: |
| 32. * | And when they see them, they say, verily these are mistaken men. |
| 33. * | But they are not sent to be keepers over them. |
| 34. * | Wherefore one day the true believers, in their turn, shall laugh the infidels to scorn: |
| 35. * | Lying on couches they shall look down upon them in hell. |
| 36. * | Shall not the infidels be rewarded for that which they have done? |
