# Translation Ayah
1 He frowned and turned away عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى
2 that the blind man came to him. أَن جَاءهُ الْأَعْمَى
3 And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him, وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى
4 or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him. أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى
5 But the self-sufficient, أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى
6 to him thou attendest فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى
7 though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself. وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى
8 And he who comes to thee eagerly وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءكَ يَسْعَى
9 and fearfully, وَهُوَ يَخْشَى
10 to him thou payest no heed. فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى
11 No indeed; it is a Reminder كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
12 (and whoso wills, shall remember it) فَمَن شَاء ذَكَرَهُ
13 upon pages high-honoured, فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
14 uplifted, purified, مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
15 by the hands of scribes بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
16 noble, pious. كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
17 Perish Man! How unthankful he is! قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
18 Of what did He create him? مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
19 Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him, مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
20 then the way eased for him, ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
21 then makes him to die, and buries him, ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
22 then, when He wills, He raises him. ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاء أَنشَرَهُ
23 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
24 Let Man consider his nourishment. فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ
25 We poured out the rains abundantly, أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاء صَبًّا
26 then We split the earth in fissures ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
27 and therein made the grains to grow فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
28 and vines, and reeds, وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
29 and olives, and palms, وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
30 and dense-tree'd gardens, وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
31 and fruits, and pastures, وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
32 an enjoyment for you and your flocks. مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
33 And when the Blast shall sound, فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
34 upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother, يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
35 his mother, his father, وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
36 his consort, his sons, وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
37 every man that day shall have business to suffice him. لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
38 Some faces on that day shall shine وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
39 laughing, joyous; ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
40 some faces on that day shall be dusty وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
41 o'erspread with darkness -- تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
42 those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines. أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
