'Abasa

۞ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰۤ

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَاۤءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

Because the blind man came unto him

وَمَا یُدۡرِیكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ یَزَّكَّىٰۤ

What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

أَوۡ یَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰۤ

Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

As for him who thinketh himself independent

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

Unto him thou payest regard

وَمَا عَلَیۡكَ أَلَّا یَزَّكَّىٰ

Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace)

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاۤءَكَ یَسۡعَىٰ

But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

وَهُوَ یَخۡشَىٰ

And hath fear

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

From him thou art distracted

كَلَّاۤ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةࣱ

Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment

فَمَن شَاۤءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

So let whosoever will pay heed to it

فِی صُحُفࣲ مُّكَرَّمَةࣲ

On honoured leaves

مَّرۡفُوعَةࣲ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ

Exalted, purified

بِأَیۡدِی سَفَرَةࣲ

(Set down) by scribes

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةࣲ

Noble and righteous

قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَاۤ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ

Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful

مِنۡ أَیِّ شَیۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what thing doth He create him

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِیلَ یَسَّرَهُۥ

Then maketh the way easy for him

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ

Then causeth him to die, and burieth him

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاۤءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life

كَلَّا لَمَّا یَقۡضِ مَاۤ أَمَرَهُۥ

Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him

فَلۡیَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦۤ

Let man consider his food

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَاۤءَ صَبࣰّا

How We pour water in showers

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقࣰّا

Then split the earth in clefts

فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا حَبࣰّا

And cause the grain to grow therein

وَعِنَبࣰا وَقَضۡبࣰا

And grapes and green fodder

وَزَیۡتُونࣰا وَنَخۡلࣰا

And olive-trees and palm-trees

وَحَدَاۤئِقَ غُلۡبࣰا

And garden-closes of thick foliage

وَفَـٰكِهَةࣰ وَأَبࣰّا

And fruits and grasses

مَّتَـٰعࣰا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَـٰمِكُمۡ

Provision for you and your cattle

فَإِذَا جَاۤءَتِ ٱلصَّاۤخَّةُ

But when the Shout cometh

یَوۡمَ یَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِیهِ

On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِیهِ

And his mother and his father

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِیهِ

And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِئࣲ مِّنۡهُمۡ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ شَأۡنࣱ یُغۡنِیهِ

Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others)

وُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَئِذࣲ مُّسۡفِرَةࣱ

On that day faces will be bright as dawn

ضَاحِكَةࣱ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةࣱ

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوهࣱ یَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَیۡهَا غَبَرَةࣱ

And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Veiled in darkness

أُو۟لَـٰۤئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked
