Chapter 80, 42 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away
AAabasa watawalla
Because the blind man came unto him.
An jaahu alaAAma
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
Amma mani istaghna
Unto him thou payest regard.
Faanta lahu tasadda
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
And hath fear,
Wahuwa yakhsha
From him thou art distracted.
Faanta AAanhu talahha
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
Faman shaa thakarahu
On honoured leaves
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
Exalted, purified,
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
(Set down) by scribes
Biaydee safaratin
Noble and righteous.
Kiramin bararatin
Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
From what thing doth He create him ?
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
Then maketh the way easy for him,
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
Let man consider his food:
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
How We pour water in showers
Anna sababna almaa sabban
Then split the earth in clefts
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
And cause the grain to grow therein
Faanbatna feeha habban
And grapes and green fodder
WaAAinaban waqadban
And olive - trees and palm - trees
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
And garden - closes of thick foliage
Wahadaiqa ghulban
And fruits and grasses:
Wafakihatan waabban
Provision for you and your cattle.
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
But when the Shout cometh
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
And his mother and his father
Waommihi waabeehi
And his wife and his children,
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
Veiled in darkness,
Tarhaquha qataratun
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
