Abasa

1 The Prophet frowned and turned away

1 AAabasa watawalla

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

2 An jaahu alaAAma

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

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

5 As for he who thinks himself without need,

5 Amma mani istaghna

6 To him you give attention.

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

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

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

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

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

9 While he fears [Allah],

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

10 From him you are distracted.

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

11 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

12 So whoever wills may remember it.

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

13 [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

14 Exalted and purified,

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

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

15 Biaydee safaratin

16 Noble and dutiful.

16 Kiramin bararatin

17 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

18 From what substance did He create him?

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

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

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

20 Then He eased the way for him;

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

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

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

22 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

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

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

24 Then let mankind look at his food -

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

25 How We poured down water in torrents,

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

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

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

27 And caused to grow within it grain

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

28 And grapes and herbage

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

29 And olive and palm trees

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

30 And gardens of dense shrubbery

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

31 And fruit and grass -

31 Wafakihatan waabban

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

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 But when there comes the Deafening Blast

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

34 On the Day a man will flee from his brother

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

35 And his mother and his father

35 Waommihi waabeehi

36 And his wife and his children,

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

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

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

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

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

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

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

41 Blackness will cover them.

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
