আবাসা (সে বিরক্তি প্রকাশ করলো)

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

1 He frowned and turned (his) back,

2 Because the blind man came unto him.

2 Because there came to him the blind man.

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

3 And what would make you know that he would purify himself,

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

4 Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?

5 As for him who thinketh himself independent,

5 As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),

6 Unto him thou payest regard.

6 To him do you address yourself.

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

7 And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself

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

8 And as to him who comes to you striving hard,

9 And hath fear,

9 And he fears,

10 From him thou art distracted.

10 From him will you divert yourself.

11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

11 Nay! surely it is an admonishment.

12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

12 So let him who pleases mind it.

13 On honoured leaves

13 In honored books,

14 Exalted, purified,

14 Exalted, purified,

15 (Set down) by scribes

15 In the hands of scribes

16 Noble and righteous.

16 Noble, virtuous.

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

17 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!

18 From what thing doth He create him ?

18 Of what thing did He create him?

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

19 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

20 Then maketh the way easy for him,

20 Then (as for) the way - - He has made it easy (for him)

21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

21 Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,

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

22 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.

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

23 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.

24 Let man consider his food:

24 Then let man look to his food,

25 How We pour water in showers

25 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,

26 Then split the earth in clefts

26 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,

27 And cause the grain to grow therein

27 Then We cause to grow therein the grain,

28 And grapes and green fodder

28 And grapes and clover,

29 And olive - trees and palm - trees

29 And the olive and the palm,

30 And garden - closes of thick foliage

30 And thick gardens,

31 And fruits and grasses:

31 And fruits and herbage

32 Provision for you and your cattle.

32 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 But when the Shout cometh

33 But when the deafening cry comes,

34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

34 The day on which a man shall fly 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 spouse and his son - -

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

37 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.

38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

38 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright,

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

39 Laughing, joyous.

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

40 And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,

41 Veiled in darkness,

41 Darkness shall cover them.

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.

42 These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
