بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
AAabasa watawalla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أن جاءه الأعمى
An jaahu alaAAma
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أما من استغنى
Amma mani istaghna
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
فأنت له تصدى
Faanta lahu tasadda
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him you give attention.
وما عليك ألا يزكى
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وأما من جاءك يسعى
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وهو يخشى
Wahuwa yakhsha
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
While he fears [Allah],
فأنت عنه تلهى
Faanta AAanhu talahha
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
From him you are distracted.
كلا إنها تذكرة
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فمن شاء ذكره
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
So whoever wills may remember it.
في صحف مكرمة
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مرفوعة مطهرة
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
Exalted and purified,
بأيدي سفرة
Biaydee safaratin
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger - angels,
كرام بررة

قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
من أي شيء خلقه
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
From what substance did He create him?
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
From a sperm - drop He created him and destined for him;
ثم السبيل يسره
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Then He eased the way for him;
ثم أماته فأقبره
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
Then let mankind look at his food -
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
How We poured down water in torrents,
ثم شققنا الأرض شقا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فأنبتنا فيها حبا
Faanbatna feeha habban
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And caused to grow within it grain
وعنبا وقضبا
WaAAinaban waqadban
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And grapes and herbage
وزيتونا ونخلا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And olive and palm trees
وحدائق غلبا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وفاكهة وأبا
Wafakihatan waabban
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
And fruit and grass -
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فإذا جاءت الصاخة
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يوم يفر المرء من أخيه
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وأمه وأبيه
Waommihi waabeehi
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
And his mother and his father
وصاحبته وبنيه
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
And his wife and his children,
لكل امرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وجوه يومئذ مسفرة
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضاحكة مستبشرة
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
ترهقها قترة
Tarhaquha qataratun
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them.
أولئك هم الكفرة الفجرة
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
