بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١
AAabasa watawalla. The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ ٢
An jaahu al-aAAma. Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka. But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ ٤
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu aththikra. Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٥
Amma mani istaghna. As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦
Faanta lahu tasadda. To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka. And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ ٨
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa. But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ ٩
Wahuwa yakhsha. While he fears [ Allah ],
فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ١٠
Faanta AAanhu talahha. From him you are distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ ١١
Kalla innaha tathkira. No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ١٢
Faman shaa thakarah. So whoever wills may remember it.
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ ١٣
Fee suhufin mukarrama. [It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ ١٤
MarfooAAatin mutahhara. Exalted and purified,
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ ١٥
Bi-aydee safara. [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ ١٦
Kiramin barara. Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ ١٧
Qutila al-insanu ma akfarah. Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨
Min ayyi shay-in khalaqah. From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarah. From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠
Thumma assabeela yassarah. Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ ٢١
Thumma amatahu faaqbarah. Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢
Thumma itha shaa ansharah. Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ٢٣
Kalla lamma yaqdi maamarah. No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ٢٤
Falyanthuri al-insanuila taAAamih. Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا ٢٥
Anna sababna almaasabba. How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا ٢٦
Thumma shaqaqna al-arda shaqqa. Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا ٢٧
Faanbatna feeha habba. And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا ٢٨
WaAAinaban waqadba. And grapes and herbage
وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا ٢٩
Wazaytoonan wanakhla. And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا ٣٠
Wahada-iqa ghulba. And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا ٣١
Wafakihatan waabba. And fruit and grass -
مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ٣٢
MataAAan lakum wali-anAAamikum. [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣
Fa-itha jaati assakhkha. But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ ٣٤
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheeh. On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ٣٥
Waommihi waabeeh. And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦
Wasahibatihi wabaneeh. And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ ٣٧
Likulli imri-in minhum yawma-ithinsha'nun yughneeh. For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ ٣٨
Wujoohun yawma-ithin musfira. [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ ٣٩
Dahikatun mustabshira. Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ ٤٠
Wawujoohun yawma-ithin AAalayhaghabara. And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ٤١
Tarhaquha qatara. Blackness will cover them.
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ ٤٢
Ola-ika humu alkafaratu alfajara. Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
