عبس

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away

1 AAabasa watawalla

2 Because the blind man came unto him.

2 An jaahu alaAAma

3 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

4 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

5 As for him who thinketh himself independent,

5 Amma mani istaghna

6 Unto him thou payest regard.

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

7 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

8 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

9 And hath fear,

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

10 From him thou art distracted.

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

13 On honoured leaves

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

14 Exalted, purified,

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

15 (Set down) by scribes

15 Biaydee safaratin

16 Noble and righteous.

16 Kiramin bararatin

17 Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

18 From what thing doth He create him ?

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

19 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

20 Then maketh the way easy for him,

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

22 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

23 Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

24 Let man consider his food:

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

25 How We pour water in showers

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

26 Then split the earth in clefts

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

27 And cause the grain to grow therein

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

28 And grapes and green fodder

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

29 And olive - trees and palm - trees

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

30 And garden - closes of thick foliage

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

31 And fruits and grasses:

31 Wafakihatan waabban

32 Provision for you and your cattle.

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 But when the Shout cometh

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

35 And his mother and his father

35 Waommihi waabeehi

36 And his wife and his children,

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

37 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

40 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

41 Veiled in darkness,

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
