Chapter 80, 42 verses
He frowned and turned (his) back,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
AAabasa watawalla
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man.
أن جاءه الأعمى
An jaahu alaAAma
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
أما من استغنى
Amma mani istaghna
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
To him do you address yourself.
فأنت له تصدى
Faanta lahu tasadda
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
وما عليك ألا يزكى
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
وأما من جاءك يسعى
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
And he fears,
وهو يخشى
Wahuwa yakhsha
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
From him will you divert yourself.
فأنت عنه تلهى
Faanta AAanhu talahha
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
كلا إنها تذكرة
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
So let him who pleases mind it.
فمن شاء ذكره
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
In honored books,
في صحف مكرمة
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
Exalted, purified,
مرفوعة مطهرة
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
In the hands of scribes
بأيدي سفرة
Biaydee safaratin
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
Noble, virtuous.
كرام بررة
Kiramin bararatin
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Of what thing did He create him?
من أي شيء خلقه
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Then (as for) the way - - He has made it easy (for him)
ثم السبيل يسره
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
ثم أماته فأقبره
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Then let man look to his food,
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,
ثم شققنا الأرض شقا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Then We cause to grow therein the grain,
فأنبتنا فيها حبا
Faanbatna feeha habban
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And grapes and clover,
وعنبا وقضبا
WaAAinaban waqadban
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And the olive and the palm,
وزيتونا ونخلا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And thick gardens,
وحدائق غلبا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
And fruits and herbage
وفاكهة وأبا
Wafakihatan waabban
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
A provision for you and for your cattle.
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
But when the deafening cry comes,
فإذا جاءت الصاخة
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,
يوم يفر المرء من أخيه
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
And his mother and his father,
وأمه وأبيه
Waommihi waabeehi
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
And his spouse and his son - -
وصاحبته وبنيه
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.
لكل امرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
(Many) faces on that day shall be bright,
وجوه يومئذ مسفرة
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Laughing, joyous.
ضاحكة مستبشرة
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,
ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Darkness shall cover them.
ترهقها قترة
Tarhaquha qataratun
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
أولئك هم الكفرة الفجرة
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
