عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ (1)
He frowned and turned away |
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ (2)
Because there came to him the blind man |
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ (3)
And how can you know that he might become pure |
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ (4)
Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him |
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ (5)
As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient |
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ (6)
To him you attend |
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ (7)
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure |
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ (8)
But as for him who came to you running |
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ (9)
And is afraid |
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ (10)
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another |
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ (11)
Nay; indeed it is an admonition |
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ (12)
So, whoever wills, let him pay attention to Him (it) |
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ (13)
In Records held in honor |
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ (14)
Exalted, purified |
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ (15)
In the hands of ambassadors (Safarah) |
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ (16)
Honorable and obedient |
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ (17)
Qutila mankind! How ungrateful he is |
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ (18)
From what thing did He create him |
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ (19)
From a Nutfah He created him and then set him in due proportion |
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ (20)
Then He made the path easy for him |
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ (21)
Then He causes him to die and puts him in his grave |
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ (22)
Then when it is His will, He will resurrect him |
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ (23)
Nay, but has not done what He commanded him |
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ (24)
Then let man look at his food |
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا (25)
We pour forth water in abundance |
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا (26)
And We split the earth in clefts |
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا (27)
And We cause therein Habb to grow |
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا (28)
And grapes and Qadb |
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا (29)
And olives and date palms |
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا (30)
And Ghulb Hada'iq |
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا (31)
And fruits (Fakihah) and herbage (Abb) |
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ (32)
A provision and benefit for you and your cattle |
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ (33)
Then when there comes As-Sakhkhah |
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ (34)
That Day shall a man flee from his brother |
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ (35)
And from his mother and his father |
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ (36)
And from his wife and his children |
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ (37)
Every man that Day will have enough to make him careless of others |
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ (38)
Some faces that Day will be bright |
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ (39)
Laughing, rejoicing at good news |
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ (40)
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained |
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ (41)
Darkness will cover them |
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ (42)
Such will be the disbelieving, the wicked evil doers |
