بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
AAabasa watawalla
He frowned and turned (his) back,
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him do you address yourself.
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhsha
And he fears,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
From him will you divert yourself.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
