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