Pickthall Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

Muhsin Khan And when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.

Pickthall On couches, gazing,

Muhsin Khan You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight.

Pickthall Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.

Muhsin Khan They will be given to drink pure sealed wine.

Pickthall They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,

Muhsin Khan The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah).

Pickthall Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

Muhsin Khan It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim.

Pickthall And mixed with water of Tasnim,

Muhsin Khan A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

Muhsin Khan Verily! (During the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

Pickthall And wink one to another when they passed them;

Muhsin Khan And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

Pickthall And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

Muhsin Khan And when they saw them, they said: "Verily! These have indeed gone astray!"

Pickthall And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
