وَيْلٌ لِلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ١
Woe to those that deal in fraud,-
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
83:2
الَّذِينَ إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ٢
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
83:3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَوْ وَزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ٣
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنَّهُمْ مَبْعُوثُونَ ٤
Do they not think that they will be called to account?-

On a Mighty Day,
83:6
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ٦
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ ٧
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
83:8
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ ٨
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
83:9
كِتَابٌ مَرْقُومٌ ٩
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.
83:10
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٠
Woe, that Day, to those that deny-
83:11
الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ ١١
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
83:12
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ١٢
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
83:13
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ١٣
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
83:14
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ ١٤
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
83:15
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ ١٥
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
