بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
AAabasa watawalla
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أن جاءه الأعمى
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أما من استغنى
Amma mani istaghna
As for he who thinks himself without need,
فأنت له تصدى
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him you give attention.
وما عليك ألا يزكى
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وأما من جاءك يسعى
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وهو يخشى
Wahuwa yakhsha
While he fears [Allah],
فأنت عنه تلهى
Faanta AAanhu talahha
From him you are distracted.
كلا إنها تذكرة
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فمن شاء ذكره
Faman shaa thakarahu
So whoever wills may remember it.
في صحف مكرمة
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مرفوعة مطهرة
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
Exalted and purified,
بأيدي سفرة
Biaydee safaratin
[Carried] by the hands of messenger - angels,
كرام بررة
Kiramin bararatin
Noble and dutiful.
قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
من أي شيء خلقه
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what substance did He create him?
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
From a sperm - drop He created him and destined for him;
ثم السبيل يسره
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then He eased the way for him;
ثم أماته فأقبره
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Then let mankind look at his food -
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
How We poured down water in torrents,
ثم شققنا الأرض شقا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فأنبتنا فيها حبا
Faanbatna feeha habban
And caused to grow within it grain
وعنبا وقضبا
WaAAinaban waqadban
And grapes and herbage
وزيتونا ونخلا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
And olive and palm trees
وحدائق غلبا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وفاكهة وأبا
Wafakihatan waabban
And fruit and grass -
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فإذا جاءت الصاخة
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يوم يفر المرء من أخيه
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وأمه وأبيه
Waommihi waabeehi
And his mother and his father
وصاحبته وبنيه
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
And his wife and his children,
لكل امرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وجوه يومئذ مسفرة
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضاحكة مستبشرة
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
ترهقها قترة
Tarhaquha qataratun
Blackness will cover them.
أولئك هم الكفرة الفجرة
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
