وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ

Waylun lilmutaffifeen

Woe to those who give short measure,

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ

Allatheena itha iktalooAAala annasi yastawfoon

who demand of other people full measure for themselves,

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ

Wa-itha kaloohum aw wazanoohumyukhsiroon

but give less than they should when it is they who weigh or measure for others!

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ

Ala yathunnu ola-ikaannahum mabAAoothoon

Do these people not realize that they will be raised up

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

Wama yukaththibu bihi illakullu muAAtadin atheem

Only the evil aggressor denies it:

Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatunaqala asateeru al-awwaleen

Kalla bal rana AAalaquloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboon

No indeed! On that Day they will be screened off from their Lord,

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheem

they will burn in Hell,

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Thumma yuqalu hatha allatheekuntum bihi tukaththiboon

They will be served a sealed nectar,

خِتَـٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَـٰفِسُونَ

Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalikafalyatanafasi almutanafisoon

its seal [perfumed with] a fragrant herb––let those who strive, strive for this––

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ

Wamizajuhu min tasneem

mixed with the water of Tasnim,

عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ

Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoomina allatheena amanoo yadhakoon

The wicked used to laugh at the believers––

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoon

they would wink at one another when the believers passed by them,

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ

Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimuinqalaboo fakiheen

joke about them when they got back to their own people,

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ

Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-iladalloon

and say, when they saw them, ‘These people are misguided,’

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَـٰفِظِينَ

Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheen

though they were not sent to be their keepers-

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ

Falyawma allatheena amanoomina alkuffari yadhakoon

so today the believers are laughing at the disbelievers

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroon

as they sit on couches, gazing around.

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ

Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanooyafAAaloon

Have the disbelievers [not] been repaid for their deeds?
