| 83:1 | | Woe to the cheaters |
| 83:2 | | Who demand full measure when receiving from the people |
| 83:3 | | But when giving them the measures or weights, they cheat |
| 83:4 | | Do they not know that they will be resurrected |
| 83:5 | | On a tremendous day |
| 83:6 | | That is the day when all people will stand before the Lord of the universe |
| 83:7 | | Indeed, the book of the wicked is in Sijjeen |
| 83:8 | | Do you know what Sijjeen is |
| 83:9 | | A numerically structured book |
| 83:10 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
| 83:11 | | They do not believe in the Day of Judgment |
| 83:12 | | None disbelieves therein except the transgressor, the sinful |
| 83:13 | | When our revelations are recited to him, he says, "Tales from the past!" |
| 83:14 | | Indeed, their hearts have become shielded by their sins |
| 83:15 | | Indeed, they will be isolated, on that day, from their Lord |
| 83:16 | | Then they will be thrown into Hell |
| 83:17 | | They will be told, "This is what you used to deny." |
| 83:18 | | Indeed, the book of the righteous will be in `Elleyyeen |
| 83:19 | | Do you know what `Elleyyeen is |
| 83:20 | | A numerically structured book |
| 83:21 | | To be witnessed by those close to Me |
| 83:22 | | The righteous have deserved bliss |
| 83:23 | | On luxurious furnishings they watch |
| 83:24 | | You recognize in their faces the joy of bliss |
| 83:25 | | Their drinks will be spiced with nectar |
| 83:26 | | Its spice is like musk. This is what the competitors should compete for |
| 83:27 | | Mixed into it will be special flavors |
| 83:28 | | From a spring that is reserved for those close to Me |
| 83:29 | | The wicked used to laugh at those who believed |
| 83:30 | | When they passed by them, they used to poke fun |
| 83:31 | | When they got together with their people, they used to joke |
| 83:32 | | Whenever they saw them, they said, "These people are far astray |
| 83:33 | | "They have no such thing as (invisible) guards." |
| 83:34 | | Today, those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers |
| 83:35 | | On luxurious furnishings they watch |
| 83:36 | | Most assuredly, the disbelievers are requited for what they did |
