shakir
 
1.  *     Woe to the defrauders,
 
2.  *     Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
 
3.  *     But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
 
4.  *     Do not these think that they shall be raised again
 
5.  *     For a mighty day,
 
6.  *     The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
 
7.  *     Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
 
8.  *     And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
 
9.  *     It is a written book.
 
10.  *     Woe on that day to the rejecters,
 
11.  *     Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
 
12.  *     And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
 
13.  *     When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
 
14.  *     Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust . upon their hearts.
 
15.  *     Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
 
16.  *     Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
 
17.  *     Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
 
18.  *     Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
 
19.  *     And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
 
20.  *     It is a written book,
 
21.  *     Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
 
22.  *     Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
 
23.  *     On thrones, they shall gaze;
 
24.  *     You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
 
25.  *     They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
 
26.  *     The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
 
27.  *     And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
 
28.  *     A fountain from which drink they who are 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 own followers they returned exulting.
 
32.  *     And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
 
33.  *     And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
 
34.  *     So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
 
35.  *     On thrones, they will look.
 
36.  *     Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
