Chapter 80, 42 verses
AAabasa watawalla
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because the blind man came unto him.
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Amma mani istaghna
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
Unto him thou payest regard.
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhsha
And hath fear,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
From him thou art distracted.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Faman shaa thakarahu
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
On honoured leaves
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
Exalted, purified,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
Biaydee safaratin
(Set down) by scribes
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
Kiramin bararatin
Noble and righteous.
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what thing doth He create him ?
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then maketh the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Let man consider his food:
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
Anna sababna almaa sabban
How We pour water in showers
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
Then split the earth in clefts
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Faanbatna feeha habban
And cause the grain to grow therein
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
WaAAinaban waqadban
And grapes and green fodder
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
And olive - trees and palm - trees
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
And garden - closes of thick foliage
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
Wafakihatan waabban
And fruits and grasses:
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
Provision for you and your cattle.
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
But when the Shout cometh
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
Waommihi waabeehi
And his mother and his father
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
And his wife and his children,
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Tarhaquha qataratun
Veiled in darkness,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
