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 could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

4 Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

5 As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,

5 Amma mani istaghna

6 To him dost thou attend;

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

7 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

8 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

9 And with fear (in his heart),

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

10 Of him wast thou unmindful.

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

11 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

12 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

13 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

14 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

15 (Written) by the hands of scribes -

15 Biaydee safaratin

16 Honourable and Pious and Just.

16 Kiramin bararatin

17 Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

18 From what stuff hath He created him?

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

19 From a sperm - drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

20 Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

21 Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

22 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

23 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

24 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

25 For that We pour forth water in abundance,

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

26 And We split the earth in fragments,

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

27 And produce therein corn,

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

28 And Grapes and nutritious plants,

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

29 And Olives and Dates,

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

30 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

31 And fruits and fodder, -

31 Wafakihatan waabban

32 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise, -

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

34 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

35 And from his mother and his father,

35 Waommihi waabeehi

36 And from his wife and his children.

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

37 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

38 Some faces that Day will be beaming,

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing.

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

40 And other faces that Day will be dust - stained,

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

41 Blackness will cover them:

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

42 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
