আবাসা

1 The Prophet frowned and turned away

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

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

2 Because the blind man came unto him.

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

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

4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

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

5 As for he who thinks himself without need,

5 As for him who thinketh himself independent,

6 To him you give attention.

6 Unto him thou payest regard.

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

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

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

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

9 While he fears [Allah],

9 And hath fear,

10 From him you are distracted.

10 From him thou art distracted.

11 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

12 So whoever wills may remember it.

12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

13 [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

13 On honoured leaves

14 Exalted and purified,

14 Exalted, purified,

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

15 (Set down) by scribes

16 Noble and dutiful.

16 Noble and righteous.

17 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

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

18 From what substance did He create him?

18 From what thing doth He create him ?

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

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

20 Then He eased the way for him;

20 Then maketh the way easy for him,

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

21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

22 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

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

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

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

24 Then let mankind look at his food -

24 Let man consider his food:

25 How We poured down water in torrents,

25 How We pour water in showers

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

26 Then split the earth in clefts

27 And caused to grow within it grain

27 And cause the grain to grow therein

28 And grapes and herbage

28 And grapes and green fodder

29 And olive and palm trees

29 And olive - trees and palm - trees

30 And gardens of dense shrubbery

30 And garden - closes of thick foliage

31 And fruit and grass -

31 And fruits and grasses:

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

32 Provision for you and your cattle.

33 But when there comes the Deafening Blast

33 But when the Shout cometh

34 On the Day a man will flee from his brother

34 On the day when a man fleeth 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 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

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

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

38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

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

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

41 Blackness will cover them.

41 Veiled in darkness,

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
