Abasa

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ

Because the blind man came unto him

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

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

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ

Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

As for him who thinketh himself independent

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

Unto him thou payest regard

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

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

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

And hath fear

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

From him thou art distracted

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

So let whosoever will pay heed to it

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ

On honoured leaves

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ

Exalted, purified

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ

(Set down) by scribes

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ

Noble and righteous

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ

Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what thing doth He create him

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

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

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ

Then maketh the way easy for him

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ

Then causeth him to die, and burieth him

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

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

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

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

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Let man consider his food

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا

How We pour water in showers

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

Then split the earth in clefts

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

And cause the grain to grow therein

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

And grapes and green fodder

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

And olive-trees and palm-trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا

And garden-closes of thick foliage

وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

And fruits and grasses

مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ

Provision for you and your cattle

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

But when the Shout cometh

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

And his mother and his father

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

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

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ

On that day faces will be bright as dawn

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

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

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Veiled in darkness

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked
