Abasa

1 AAabasa watawalla

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away

2 An jaahu alaAAma

2 Because the blind man came unto him.

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

3 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

4 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?

5 Amma mani istaghna

5 As for him who thinketh himself independent,

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

6 Unto him thou payest regard.

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

7 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

8 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

9 And hath fear,

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

10 From him thou art distracted.

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

13 On honoured leaves

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

14 Exalted, purified,

15 Biaydee safaratin

15 (Set down) by scribes

16 Kiramin bararatin

16 Noble and righteous.

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

17 Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

18 From what thing doth He create him ?

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

19 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

20 Then maketh the way easy for him,

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

22 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

23 Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

24 Let man consider his food:

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

25 How We pour water in showers

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

26 Then split the earth in clefts

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

27 And cause the grain to grow therein

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

28 And grapes and green fodder

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

29 And olive - trees and palm - trees

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

30 And garden - closes of thick foliage

31 Wafakihatan waabban

31 And fruits and grasses:

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

32 Provision for you and your cattle.

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

33 But when the Shout cometh

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

35 Waommihi waabeehi

35 And his mother and his father

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

36 And his wife and his children,

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

37 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

40 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

41 Veiled in darkness,

42 Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
