Chapter 80, 42 verses
AAabasa watawalla
He frowned and turned (his) back,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man.
أن جاءه الأعمى
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Amma mani istaghna
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
أما من استغنى
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him do you address yourself.
فأنت له تصدى
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
وما عليك ألا يزكى
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
وأما من جاءك يسعى
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhsha
And he fears,
وهو يخشى
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
From him will you divert yourself.
فأنت عنه تلهى
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
كلا إنها تذكرة
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Faman shaa thakarahu
So let him who pleases mind it.

Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
Of what thing did He create him?
من أي شيء خلقه
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then (as for) the way - - He has made it easy (for him)
ثم السبيل يسره
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
ثم أماته فأقبره
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Then let man look to his food,
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Anna sababna almaa sabban
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
