عبس

1 AAabasa watawalla

1 (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

2 An jaahu alaAAma

2 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

3 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

4 Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

5 Amma mani istaghna

5 As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

6 To him dost thou attend;

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

7 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

8 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

9 And with fear (in his heart),

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

10 Of him wast thou unmindful.

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

11 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

12 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

13 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

14 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

15 Biaydee safaratin

15 (Written) by the hands of scribes -

16 Kiramin bararatin

16 Honourable and Pious and Just.

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

17 Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

18 From what stuff hath He created him?

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

19 From a sperm - drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

20 Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

21 Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

22 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

23 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

24 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

25 For that We pour forth water in abundance,

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

26 And We split the earth in fragments,

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

27 And produce therein corn,

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

28 And Grapes and nutritious plants,

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

29 And Olives and Dates,

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

30 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

31 Wafakihatan waabban

31 And fruits and fodder, -

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

32 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

33 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise, -

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

34 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

35 Waommihi waabeehi

35 And from his mother and his father,

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

36 And from his wife and his children.

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

37 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

38 Some faces that Day will be beaming,

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing.

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

40 And other faces that Day will be dust - stained,

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

41 Blackness will cover them:

42 Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu

42 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
