| 83:1 | | Woe be unto those who give short measure or weight |
| 83:2 | | who, when they receive by measure from other men, take the full |
| 83:3 | | but when they measure unto them, or weigh unto them, defraud |
| 83:4 | | Do not these think they shall be raised again |
| 83:5 | | at the great day |
| 83:6 | | the day whereon mankind shall stand before the Lord of all creatures |
| 83:7 | | By no means. Verily the register of the actions of the wicked is surely in Sejjin |
| 83:8 | | And what shall make thee to understand what Sejjin is |
| 83:9 | | It is a book distinctly written |
| 83:10 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 83:11 | | who denied the day of judgment as a falsehood |
| 83:12 | | And none denieth the same as falsehood, except every unjust and flagitious person |
| 83:13 | | Who, when our signs are rehearsed unto him, saith, they are fables of the ancients |
| 83:14 | | By no means: But rather their lusts have cast a veil over their hearts |
| 83:15 | | By no means. Verily they shall be shut out from their Lord on that day |
| 83:16 | | and they shall be sent into hell to be burned |
| 83:17 | | Then shall it be said unto them, by the infernal guards, this is what ye denied as a falsehood |
| 83:18 | | Assuredly. But the register of the actions of the righteous is in Illiyyun |
| 83:19 | | And what shall cause thee to understand what Illiyyun is |
| 83:20 | | It is a book distinctly written |
| 83:21 | | Those who approach near unto God, are witnesses thereto |
| 83:22 | | Verily the righteous shall dwell among delights |
| 83:23 | | Seated on couches they shall behold objects of pleasure |
| 83:24 | | thou shalt see in their faces the brightness of joy |
| 83:25 | | They shall be given to drink of pure wine, sealed |
| 83:26 | | the seal whereof shall be musk: And to this let those aspire, who aspire to happiness |
| 83:27 | | And the water mixed therewith shall be of Tasnim |
| 83:28 | | a fountain whereof those shall drink who approach near unto the divine presence |
| 83:29 | | They who act wickedly laugh the true believers to scorn |
| 83:30 | | and when they pass by them, they wink at one another |
| 83:31 | | And when they turn aside to their people, they turn aside making scurrilous jests |
| 83:32 | | And when they see them, they say, verily these are mistaken men |
| 83:33 | | But they are not sent to be keepers over them |
| 83:34 | | Wherefore one day the true believers, in their turn, shall laugh the infidels to scorn |
| 83:35 | | Lying on couches they shall look down upon them in hell |
| 83:36 | | Shall not the infidels be rewarded for that which they have done |
