Two Arabic words are commonly translated as "mischief." "sharr" "شر" means evil in the abstract sense, or maliciousness; the devil may be referred to in Arabic as "ash-sharir" الشرير or "the evil one." "Fasaad" "فساد" on the other hand means "corruption" and can be used to refer to common corruption such as bribery; in Urdu, its derivative meaning is that of a riot. The Qur'an and the hadith treat both as expressions of rebellion against the divine will of Allah. You can read more about each in these two articles:
