আবাসা (সে বিরক্তি প্রকাশ করলো)

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

1 The Prophet frowned and turned away

2 Because the blind man came unto him.

2 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

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

3 But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

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

4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

5 As for him who thinketh himself independent,

5 As for he who thinks himself without need,

6 Unto him thou payest regard.

6 To him you give attention.

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

7 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

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

8 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

9 And hath fear,

9 While he fears [Allah],

10 From him thou art distracted.

10 From him you are distracted.

11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

11 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

12 So whoever wills may remember it.

13 On honoured leaves

13 [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

14 Exalted, purified,

14 Exalted and purified,

15 (Set down) by scribes

15 [Carried] by the hands of messenger - angels,

16 Noble and righteous.

16 Noble and dutiful.

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

17 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

18 From what thing doth He create him ?

18 From what substance did He create him?

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

19 From a sperm - drop He created him and destined for him;

20 Then maketh the way easy for him,

20 Then He eased the way for him;

21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

21 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

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

22 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

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

23 No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

24 Let man consider his food:

24 Then let mankind look at his food -

25 How We pour water in showers

25 How We poured down water in torrents,

26 Then split the earth in clefts

26 Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

27 And cause the grain to grow therein

27 And caused to grow within it grain

28 And grapes and green fodder

28 And grapes and herbage

29 And olive - trees and palm - trees

29 And olive and palm trees

30 And garden - closes of thick foliage

30 And gardens of dense shrubbery

31 And fruits and grasses:

31 And fruit and grass -

32 Provision for you and your cattle.

32 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

33 But when the Shout cometh

33 But when there comes the Deafening Blast

34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

34 On the Day a man will flee from his brother

35 And his mother and his father

35 And his mother and his father

36 And his wife and his children,

36 And his wife and his children,

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

37 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

38 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

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

40 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

41 Veiled in darkness,

41 Blackness will cover them.

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
