عبس

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God; The All-Gracious, The All-Merciful.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned away,-

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ

-as the blind man approached him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

And how do you know? He could have purified himself.

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ

Or he could have taken heed and benefited from the reminder.

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

However, as for the one who was rich,-

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

-you gave him all your attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

While, you could have not done anything to purify him.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But as for the one who came to you eagerly,-

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

-and was reverent,-

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

-you did not pay any attention.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Absolutely, this is indeed a reminder.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Therefore let those who will, take heed.

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ

In an honorable record.

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ

Exalted and pure.

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ

Delivered by the hands of travelers.

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ

Honorable and righteous.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ

Woe to the human being, what made him lose faith?

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what has He created him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

He created him from semen; He created him then exactly measured him.

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ

He then made his task easy.

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ

Then He put him to death and buried him in the grave.

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

Then, when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

Absolutely, he shall never break His commandments.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Therefore let the human being look at his food.

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا

Indeed We pour the water generously.

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

We then split the ground with cracks.

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

We then grow therein grains,-

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

-and grapes and pastures,-

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

-and olives and dates,-

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا

-and dense orchards,-

وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

-and fruits, all at his disposal.

مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ

All are provisions for you as well as your livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

Then when the loud strike comes to pass.

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

That will be the day when man will flee from his brother-

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

-and from his mother and his father,-

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

-and from his wife and his children.

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

Each one of them on that day will worry about his own neck.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ

Some faces on that day will be radiating,-

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

-laughing, rejoicing.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

And other faces on that day will be dull.

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Covered by darkness.

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ

These are the unfaithful, the evildoers.
