| 83:1 | | Shame on those who are unethical |
| 83:2 | | Those who, when they have to receive an amount from others, demand the full amount |
| 83:3 | | But when they have to give an amount to others, give less than owed |
| 83:4 | | Do they not think that they will be called to account |
| 83:5 | | On a mighty day |
| 83:6 | | A day when all of humanity will stand before the Lord of all the worlds |
| 83:7 | | No, surely the record of the corrupt is in sijjin |
| 83:8 | | And what will explain to you what sijjin is |
| 83:9 | | It is a register inscribed |
| 83:10 | | Woe that day, to those who deny it |
| 83:11 | | Those who deny the Day of Accountability |
| 83:12 | | And none deny it but every transgressor beyond bounds, those who are corrupt |
| 83:13 | | When Our signs are rehearsed to him, he says, “Tales of the ancients. |
| 83:14 | | By no means, but on their hearts is the stain of that which they do |
| 83:15 | | Indeed, from their Lord that day, they will be veiled |
| 83:16 | | Further, they will enter the fire of hell |
| 83:17 | | Further, it will be said to them, “This is that which you rejected as false |
| 83:18 | | No, indeed the record of the righteous is in illiyin |
| 83:19 | | And what will explain to you what illiyin is |
| 83:20 | | It is a register inscribed |
| 83:21 | | To which those nearest bear witness |
| 83:22 | | Truly the righteous will be in bliss |
| 83:23 | | From on thrones, they observe |
| 83:24 | | You will recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of bliss |
| 83:25 | | Their thirst will be quenched with natural juice, sealed |
| 83:26 | | The seal of it will be musk, and for this let those aspire who have aspirations |
| 83:27 | | With it will be a mixture of tasnim |
| 83:28 | | A spring, from which those nearest to God will drink |
| 83:29 | | Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed |
| 83:30 | | And whenever they passed by them, they used to wink at each other |
| 83:31 | | And when they returned to their people, they would return joking |
| 83:32 | | And whenever they saw them, they would say, “Behold, these are indeed people astray. |
| 83:33 | | But they had not been sent as keepers over them |
| 83:34 | | But on this day, the believers will laugh at the unbelievers |
| 83:35 | | On thrones they will observe |
| 83:36 | | Will the unbelievers not have been paid back for what they did |
