بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ1
1.The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ2
2.Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ3
3.But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ4
4.Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ5
5.As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ6
6.To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ7
7.And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ8
8.But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ9
9.While he fears [Allah],
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ10
10.From him you are distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ11
11.No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ12
12.So whoever wills may remember it.
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ13
13.[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ14
14.Exalted and purified,
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ15
15.[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ16
16.Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ17
17.Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ18
18.From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ19
19.From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ20
20.Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ21
21.Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ22
22.Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ23
23.No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ24
24.Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا25
25.How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا26
26.Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا27
27.And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا28
28.And grapes and herbage
وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا29
29.And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا30
30.And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا31
31.And fruit and grass -
مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ32
32.[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ33
33.But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ34
34.On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ35
35.And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ36
36.And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ37
37.For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ38
38.[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ39
39.Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ40
40.And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ41
41.Blackness will cover them.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ42
42.Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
