عبس

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

   ✦1

   The Prophet frowned and turned away

2. أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

   ✦2

   Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

3. وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

   ✦3

   But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

4. أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

   ✦4

   Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

5. أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

   ✦5

   As for he who thinks himself without need

6. فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

   ✦6

   To him you give attention

7. وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

   ✦7

   And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

8. وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

   ✦8

   But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

9. وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

   ✦9

   While he fears [Allah]

10. فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

    ✦10

    From him you are distracted

11. كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ

    ✦11

    No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

12. فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

    ✦12

    So whoever wills may remember it

13. فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ

    ✦13

    [It is recorded] in honored sheets

14. مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ

    ✦14

    Exalted and purified

15. بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ

    ✦15

    [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

16. كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ

    ✦16

    Noble and dutiful

17. قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ

    ✦17

    Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

18. مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

    ✦18

    From what substance did He create him

19. مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

    ✦19

    From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

20. ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ

    ✦20

    Then He eased the way for him

21. ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ

    ✦21

    Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

22. ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

    ✦22

    Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

23. كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

    ✦23

    No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

24. فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

    ✦24

    Then let mankind look at his food

25. أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا

    ✦25

    How We poured down water in torrents

26. ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا

    ✦26

    Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]

27. فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا

    ✦27

    And caused to grow within it grain

28. وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا

    ✦28

    And grapes and herbage

29. وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا

    ✦29

    And olive and palm trees

30. وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا

    ✦30

    And gardens of dense shrubbery

31. وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا

    ✦31

    And fruit and grass

32. مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

    ✦32

    [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

33. فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

    ✦33

    But when there comes the Deafening Blast

34. يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ

    ✦34

    On the Day a man will flee from his brother

35. وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

    ✦35

    And his mother and his father

36. وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

    ✦36

    And his wife and his children

37. لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ

    ✦37

    For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

38. وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ

    ✦38

    [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

39. ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ

    ✦39

    Laughing, rejoicing at good news

40. وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ

    ✦40

    And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

41. تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

    ✦41

    Blackness will cover them

42. أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ

    ✦42

    Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
