1

وَیۡلࣱ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِینَ 

WOE UNTO THOSE who give short measure:

2

ٱلَّذِینَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ یَسۡتَوۡفُونَ 

those who, when they are to receive their due from [other] people, demand that it be given in full –

3

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ یُخۡسِرُونَ 

but when they have to measure or weigh whatever they owe to others, give less than what is due!

4

أَلَا یَظُنُّ أُو۟لَـٰۤئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ 

Do they not know that they are bound to be raised from the dead

5

لِیَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ 

[and called to account] on an awesome Day –

6

یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ 

the Day when all men shall stand before the Sustainer of all the worlds?

7

كَلَّاۤ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِی سِجِّینࣲ 

NAY, VERILY, the record of the wicked is indeed [set down] in a mode inescapable!

8

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّینࣱ 

And what could make thee conceive what that that mode inescapable will be?

9

كِتَـٰبࣱ مَّرۡقُومࣱ 

A record [indelibly] inscribed!

10

وَیۡلࣱ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ 

Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –
