Woe to the stinters who
when they measure against the people, take full measure
but, when they measure for them or weigh for them, do skimp
Do those not think that they shall be raised u
unto a mighty da
a day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of all Being
No indeed; the Book of the libertines is in Sijjin
and what shall teach thee what is Sijjin
A book inscribed
Woe that day unto those who cry it lies
who cry lies to the Day of Doom
and none cries lies to it but every guilty aggressor
When our signs are recited to him, he says, 'Fairy-tales of the ancients!
No indeed; but that they were earning has rusted upon their hearts
No indeed; but upon that day they shall be veiled from their Lord
then they shall roast in Hell
Then it shall be said to them, 'This is that you cried lies to.
No indeed; the book of the pious is in Illiyun
and what shall teach thee what is Illiyun
A book inscribed
witnessed by those brought nigh
Surely the pious shall be in bliss
upon couches gazing
thou knowest in their faces the radiancy of bliss
as they are given to drink of a wine sealed
whose seal is musk -- so after that let the strivers strive -
and whose mixture is Tasnim
a fountain at which do drink those brought nigh
Behold, the sinners were laughing at the believers
when them passed them by winking at one another
and when they returned to their people they returned blithely
and when they saw them they said, 'Lo, these men are astray!
Yet they were not sent as watchers over them
So today the believers are laughing at the unbelievers
upon couches gazing
Have the unbelievers been rewarded what they were doing
