The Prophet frowned and turned away
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰٓىۙ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
اَنْ جَآءَهُ الْاَعْمٰىۗ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
وَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰٓىۙ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
اَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰىۗ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰىۙ
To him you give attention.
فَاَنْتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىۗ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ اَ لَّا يَزَّكّٰٓىۗ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَاَمَّا مَنْ جَآءَكَ يَسْعٰىۙ
While he fears [ Allah ],
وَهُوَ يَخْشٰىۙ
From him you are distracted.
فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ۚ
So whoever wills may remember it.
فَمَنْ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗۘ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
فِىْ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۙ
Exalted and purified,
مَّرْفُوْعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ۭۙ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
بِاَيْدِىْ سَفَرَةٍۙ
Noble and dutiful.
كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍۗ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
قُتِلَ الْاِنْسَانُ مَاۤ اَكْفَرَهٗۗ
From what substance did He create him?
مِنْ اَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهٗۗ
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍۗ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ۙ
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيْلَ يَسَّرَهٗۙ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقْبَرَهٗۙ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنْشَرَهٗۗ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَـمَّا يَقْضِ مَاۤ اَمَرَهٗۗ
Then let mankind look at his food -
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖۤۙ
How We poured down water in torrents,
اَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَآءَ صَبًّا ۙ
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْاَرْضَ شَقًّا ۙ
And caused to grow within it grain
فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا حَبًّا ۙ
And grapes and herbage
وَّ عِنَبًا وَّقَضْبًا ۙ
And olive and palm trees
وَّزَيْتُوْنًا وَّنَخْلًا ۗ
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَحَدَآٮِٕقَ غُلْبًا ۙ
And fruit and grass -
وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّا ۙ
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
مَّتَاعًا لَّـكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْۗ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الصَّآخَّةُۖ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ اَخِيْهِۙ
And his mother and his father
وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيْهِۙ
And his wife and his children,
وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيْهِۗ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
لِكُلِّ امْرِیءٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَٮِٕذٍ شَأْنٌ يُّغْنِيْهِۗ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَٮِٕذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ۙ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ۚ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَٮِٕذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ۙ
Blackness will cover them.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۗ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
