Chapter 80, 42 verses
AAabasa watawalla
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because the blind man came unto him.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Amma mani istaghna
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
Unto him thou payest regard.
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ 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 جَآءَكَ 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,
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Faman shaa thakarahu
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
On honoured leaves
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
Exalted, purified,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
Biaydee safaratin
(Set down) by scribes
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
Kiramin bararatin
Noble and righteous.
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what thing doth He create him ?
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then maketh the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Let man consider his food:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Anna sababna almaa sabban
How We pour water in showers
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
Then split the earth in clefts
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Faanbatna feeha habban
And cause the grain to grow therein
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا 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
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
Wafakihatan waabban
And fruits and grasses:
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
Provision for you and your cattle.
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
But when the Shout cometh
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
Waommihi waabeehi
And his mother and his father
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
And his wife and his children,
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ 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.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
