as rendered by Muhammad Sarwar — 36 verses

83:1
Woe to those who are fraudulent in (weighing and measuring)
83:2
those who demand a full measure from other
83:3
but when they measure or weigh, give less
83:4
Do they not realize that they will be resurrecte
83:5
on a great da
83:6
when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Universe
83:7
Woe to them! Let them know that the records of the sinner's deeds are in Sijin
83:8
Would that you knew what Sijin is!
83:9
It is a comprehensively written Book (of records)
83:10
Woe, on that day, to those who have rejected God's revelation
83:11
and those who have rejected the Day of Judgment
83:12
No one rejects it except the sinful transgressor
83:13
who, when listening to Our revelations, say, "These are only ancient legends"
83:14
They will never have faith. In fact, their hearts are stained from their deeds
83:15
On the Day of Judgment, they will certainly be barred from the mercy of their Lord
83:16
They will suffer the heat of fire
83:17
and who will be told, "This is what you had called a lie"
83:18
However, the records of the deeds of the virtuous ones will certainly be in Illiyin
83:19
Would that you knew what Illiyin is
83:20
It is a comprehensively written Book (of records)
83:21
The ones nearest to God will bring it to public
83:22
The virtuous will live in bliss
83:23
reclining on couches, reviewing (the bounties given to them)
83:24
You can trace on their faces the joy of their bliss
83:25
They will be given pure wine out of sealed container
83:26
which have the fragrance of musk. This is the kind of place for which one should really aspire
83:27
With the wine is a drink from Tasnim
83:28
a spring, the nearest ones to God will drink from it
83:29
The sinners had been laughing at the believers
83:30
When passing by them, they would wink at one another
83:31
and, on returning to their people, boast about what they had done
83:32
On seeing the believers, they would say, "These people have gone astray"
83:33
No one has appointed them to watch over the believers
83:34
On the Day of Judgment, the believers will laugh at the disbeliever
83:35
while reclining on couches and reviewing (the bounties given to them)
83:36
Will not the disbelievers then be duly recompensed for their laughing at the believers
