Misery to those who deal in fraud, (woe be unto those who cheat)—
Those who demand full measure, when they have to receive by measure from men
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than due
Do they not think that they will be called to account
On a Mighty Day
A day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds (Rab-ul-'Ala'meen)
But! Surely the record of the wicked is (saved) in prison register (Sijjin)
And what will explain to you what the prison register (Sijjin) is
(There is) a register (fully) written
Misery, on that Day, to those who deny—
Those who do not accept the Day of Judgment
And none can deny it except the transgressor beyond limits, the sinner
When Our Signs are read (and repeated) to him, he says, "Tales of old!"
By no means! But on their hearts is the stain of (the evil,) whatever they do
Surely, from the Light (of) their Lord, on that Day will they be blocked
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell
Further, it will be said to them: This is the (reality), which you rejected as false
But no! Surely the record of the righteous is (saved) in register (‘Illiyyun) of the Supreme
And What will explain to you what the register (‘Illiyyun) of the Supreme is
There is a register (fully) written
To which bear witness those nearest (to Allah)
Truly the righteous will be in happiness
On Thrones (of dignity) they will be able to see a view (of all things)
You will recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of joy
Their thirst will be quenched with pure wine sealed
The seal will be musk: And for this let them desire, those who have true desires
With it will be (given) a mixture of drink from the Paradise (Tasnim, the nectar from the pure heavenly fountain
A spring, from (which) drink those nearest to Allah
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery)
And when they returned to their own people, they would return mocking
And whenever they saw them (those who believed), they would say, "Look! These are the people truly astray!"
But they (the unbelievers) had not been sent as keepers over them (those who believed)
But on this Day the believers will laugh at the unbelievers
On Thrones (of dignity) they will be able to see a view (of all things)
Will not the unbelievers have been paid back for what they did
