عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
AAabasa watawalla
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]
وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ
Amma mani istaghna
As for he who thinks himself without need
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him you give attention
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhsha
While he fears [Allah]
فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
From him you are distracted
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Faman shaa thakarahu
So whoever wills may remember it
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
[It is recorded] in honored sheets
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
Exalted and purified
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
Biaydee safaratin
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
Kiramin bararatin
Noble and dutiful
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what substance did He create him
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then He eased the way for him
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Then let mankind look at his food
أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
How We poured down water in torrents
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]
فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا
Faanbatna feeha habban
And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا
WaAAinaban waqadban
And grapes and herbage
وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا
Wafakihatan waabban
And fruit and grass
مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
Waommihi waabeehi
And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
And his wife and his children
لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright
ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
Laughing, rejoicing at good news
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust
تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Tarhaquha qataratun
Blackness will cover them
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
