Woe to the Defrauders
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Woe to the defrauders, who, when they take a measure from men, exact the measure faithfully, and when they measure or weigh for them, cause loss.
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم وٮل للمطڡڡٮں الدٮں ادا اكٮالوا على الٮاس ٮسٮوڡوں وادا كالوهم او ورٮوهم ٮحسروں
Do those not presume that they will be raised for an immense Day, the Day when mankind will stand before the Guardian of all beings?
الا ٮطں اولٮك اٮهم مٮعوٮوں لٮوم عطٮم ٮوم ٮڡوم الٮاس لرٮ العلمٮں
By no means! Surely, the record of the depraved is in Sijjin.
كلا اں كٮٮ الڡحار لڡى سحٮں
And what will give you an idea of what Sijjin is? A written record.
وما ادرٮك ما سحٮں كٮٮ مرڡوم
Woe, that Day, to the deniers, those who deny the Day of the Due.
وٮل ٮومٮد للمكدٮٮں الدٮں ٮكدٮوں ٮٮوم الدٮں
And none denies it except every crosser of limits, a transgressor; when Our signs are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the ancients!"
وما ٮكدٮ ٮه الا كل معٮد اٮٮم ادا ٮٮلى علٮه اٮٮٮا ڡال اسطٮر الاولٮں
By no means! Rather, what they were earning has rusted their cores.
كلا ٮل راں على ڡلوٮهم ما كاٮوا ٮكسٮوں
By no means! Surely, that Day, they will be veiled from their Guardian.
كلا اٮهم عں رٮهم ٮومٮد لمححوٮوں
Then surely, they will burn in the Blaze.
ٮم اٮهم لصالوا الححٮم
Then it will be said, "This is what you used to deny."
ٮم ٮڡال هدا الدى كٮٮم ٮه ٮكدٮوں
By no means! Surely, the record of the virtuous is in 'Illiyyun.
كلا اں كٮٮ الاٮرار لڡى علٮٮں
And what will give you an idea of what 'Illiyyun is? A written record, witnessed by those brought near.
وما ادرٮك ما علٮوں كٮٮ مرڡوم ٮسهده المڡرٮوں
Surely, the virtuous will be in bliss, on adorned couches, they will look; you will recognize in their faces the radiance of bliss; they will be given drink from a sealed nectar, whose seal is musk.
اں الاٮرار لڡى ٮعٮم على الاراٮك ٮٮطروں ٮعرڡ ڡى وحوههم ٮصره الٮعٮم ٮسڡوں مں رحٮٯ محٮوم حٮمه مسك
And for this let the competitors compete.
وڡى دلك ڡلٮٮٮاڡس المٮٮڡسوں
And its blend is of Tasnim, a spring from which those brought near drink.
ومراحه مں ٮسٮٮم عٮٮا ٮسرٮ ٮها المڡرٮوں
Those who cut themselves off used to laugh at those who believed, and when they passed by them, they winked at one another, and when they returned to their people, they returned delighting, and when they saw them, they said, "These are surely astray" — while they had not been sent as preservers over them.
اں الدٮں احرموا كاٮوا مں الدٮں امٮوا ٮصحكوں وادا مروا ٮهم ٮٮعامروں وادا اٮڡلٮوا الى اهلهم اٮڡلٮوا ڡكهٮں وادا راوهم ڡالوا اں هولا لصالوں وما ارسلوا علٮهم حڡطٮں
So today those who believed are laughing at the disowners, upon adorned couches.
ڡالٮوم الدٮں امٮوا مں الكڡار ٮصحكوں على الاراٮك
They look: have the disowners received the return of what they used to do?
ٮٮطروں هل ٮوٮ الكڡار ما كاٮوا ٮڡعلوں
