عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ۝١

1He frowned and turned (his) back,

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ۝٢

2Because there came to him the blind man.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ۝٣

3And what would make you know that he would purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ۝٤

4Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ۝٥

5As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ۝٦

6To him do you address yourself.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ۝٧

7And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ۝٨

8And as to him who comes to you striving hard,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ۝٩

9And he fears,

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ۝١٠

10From him will you divert yourself.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ۝١١

11Nay! surely it is an admonishment.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ۝١٢

12So let him who pleases mind it.

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ۝١٣

13In honored books,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ۝١٤

14Exalted, purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ۝١٥

15In the hands of scribes

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ۝١٦

16Noble, virtuous.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ۝١٧

17Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ۝١٨

18Of what thing did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ۝١٩

19Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ۝٢٠

20Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him)

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ۝٢١

21Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ۝٢٢

22Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ۝٢٣

23Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ۝٢٤

24Then let man look to his food,

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا۝٢٥

25That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا۝٢٦

26Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا۝٢٧

27Then We cause to grow therein the grain,

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا۝٢٨

28And grapes and clover,

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا۝٢٩

29And the olive and the palm,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا۝٣٠

30And thick gardens,

وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا۝٣١

31And fruits and herbage

مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ۝٣٢

32A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ۝٣٣

33But when the deafening cry comes,

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ۝٣٤

34The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ۝٣٥

35And his mother and his father,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ۝٣٦

36And his spouse and his son--

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ۝٣٧

37Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ۝٣٨

38(Many) faces on that day shall be bright,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ۝٣٩

39Laughing, joyous.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ۝٤٠

40And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ۝٤١

41Darkness shall cover them.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ۝٤٢

42These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
