1
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
The Prophet frowned and turned away
2
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
3
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
4
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
5
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
6
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him you give attention.
7
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
8
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
9
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
While he fears [Allah],
10
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
From him you are distracted.
11
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
12
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So whoever wills may remember it.
13
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
14
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
Exalted and purified,
15
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
16
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Noble and dutiful.
17
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
18
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what substance did He create him?
19
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
20
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He eased the way for him;
21
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
22
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
23
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
24
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Then let mankind look at his food -
25
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
How We poured down water in torrents,
26
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
27
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And caused to grow within it grain
28
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And grapes and herbage
29
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And olive and palm trees
30
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
And gardens of dense shrubbery
31
وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
And fruit and grass -
32
مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
33
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
34
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
35
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
And his mother and his father
36
وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
And his wife and his children,
37
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
38
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
39
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
40
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
41
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them.
42
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
