بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man.
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

To him do you address yourself.
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him dost thou attend;
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

And he fears,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
And with fear (in his heart),
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
From him will you divert yourself.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
So let him who pleases mind it.
