Chapter 80, 42 verses
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
Because the blind man came unto him.
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
Unto him thou payest regard.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
And hath fear,
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
From him thou art distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
On honoured leaves
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
Exalted, purified,
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
(Set down) by scribes
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
Noble and righteous.
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
From what thing doth He create him ?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Then maketh the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
Let man consider his food:
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
How We pour water in showers
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Then split the earth in clefts
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And cause the grain to grow therein
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And grapes and green fodder
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And olive - trees and palm - trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
And garden - closes of thick foliage
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
And fruits and grasses:
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
Provision for you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
But when the Shout cometh
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Veiled in darkness,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
