[Yusufali 83:29] Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ {30}

[Shakir 83:30] And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.

[Pickthal 83:30] And wink one to another when they passed them;

[Yusufali 83:30] And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);

وَإِذَا انْقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمُ انْقَلَبُوا فَكِهِينَ {31}

[Shakir 83:31] And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.

[Pickthal 83:31] And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

[Yusufali 83:31] And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَضَالُّونَ {32}

[Shakir 83:32] And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

[Pickthal 83:32] And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

[Yusufali 83:32] And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"

وَمَا أُرْسِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَافِظِينَ {33}

[Shakir 83:33] And they were not sent to be keepers over them.

[Pickthal 83:33] Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

[Yusufali 83:33] But they had not been sent as keepers over them!

فَالْيَوْمَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ {34}

[Shakir 83:34] So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

[Pickthal 83:34] This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

[Yusufali 83:34] But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:

عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَ {35}

[Shakir 83:35] On thrones, they will look.

[Pickthal 83:35] On high couches, gazing.

[Yusufali 83:35] On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ {36}

[Shakir 83:36] Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.

[Pickthal 83:36] Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do?

[Yusufali 83:36] Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?

[Yusufali 84:6] O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ {7}

[Shakir 84:7] Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,

[Pickthal 84:7] Then whoso is given his account in his right hand

[Yusufali 84:7] Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا {8}

[Shakir 84:8] He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

[Pickthal 84:8] He truly will receive an easy reckoning

[Shakir 84:9] And he shall go back to his people joyful.

[Pickthal 84:9] And will return unto his folk in joy.

[Shakir 84:10] And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

[Pickthal 84:10] But whoso is given his account behind his back,

[Yusufali 84:10] But he who is given his Record behind his back,-

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُو ثُبُورًا {11}

[Shakir 84:11] He shall call for perdition,

[Pickthal 84:11] He surely will invoke destruction

[Yusufali 84:11] Soon will he cry for perdition,

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا {12}

[Shakir 84:12] And enter into burning fire.

[Pickthal 84:12] And be thrown to scorching fire.

[Yusufali 84:12] And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا {13}

[Shakir 84:13] Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.

[Pickthal 84:13] He verily lived joyous with his folk,

[Yusufali 84:13] Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

إِنَّهُ ظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ يَحُورَ {14}

[Shakir 84:14] Surely he thought that he would never return.

[Pickthal 84:14] He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).

[Shakir 84:15] Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.

[Pickthal 84:15] Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!

[Yusufali 84:15] Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ {16}

[Shakir 84:16] But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

[Pickthal 84:16] Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

[Yusufali 84:16] So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

وَاللَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ {17}

[Shakir 84:17] And the night and that which it drives on,

[Pickthal 84:17] And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ {18}

[Shakir 84:18] And the moon when it grows full,

[Pickthal 84:18] And by the moon when she is at the full,

[Yusufali 84:18] And the Moon in her fullness:

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ {19}

[Shakir 84:19] That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.

[Pickthal 84:19] That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.

[Yusufali 84:19] Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ {20}

[Shakir 84:20] But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

[Pickthal 84:20] What aileth them, then, that they believe not

[Yusufali 84:20] What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ۩ {21}

[Shakir 84:21] And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

[Pickthal 84:21] And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah)?

[Yusufali 84:21] And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ {22}

[Shakir 84:22] Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

[Pickthal 84:22] Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

[Yusufali 84:22] But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ {23}

[Shakir 84:23] And Allah knows best what they hide,

[Pickthal 84:23] And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

[Yusufali 84:23] But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ {24}

[Shakir 84:24] So announce to them a painful punishment~

[Pickthal 84:24] So give them tidings of a painful doom,

[Yusufali 84:24] So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ {25}

[Shakir 84:25] Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.

[Pickthal 84:25] Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.

[Yusufali 84:25] Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
