Abasa Wa Tawallá

The Prophet frowned and turned away

اَنۡ جَآءَهُ الۡاَعۡمٰيؕ‏

An Jā'ahu Al-'A`má

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

وَمَا يُدۡرِيۡكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰ٘يۙ‏

Wa Mā Yudrīka La`allahu Yazzakká

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

اَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنۡفَعَهُ الذِّكۡرٰيؕ‏

Aw Yadhakkaru Fatanfa`ahu Adh-Dhikrá

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

Ammā Mani Astaghná

As for he who thinks himself without need

Fa'anta Lahu Taşaddá

To him you give attention

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰيؕ‏

Wa Mā `Alayka 'Allā Yazzakká

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

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ جَآءَكَ يَسۡعٰيۙ‏

Wa 'Ammā Man Jā'aka Yas`á

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

وَهُوَ يَخۡشٰيۙ‏

Wa Huwa Yakhshá

While he fears [Allah]

فَاَنۡتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهّٰيۚ‏

Fa'anta `Anhu Talahhá

From him you are distracted

كَلَّا٘ اِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌۚ‏

Kallā 'Innahā Tadhkirahun

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

Faman Shā'a Dhakarahu

So whoever wills may remember it

Kirāmin Bararahin

Noble and dutiful

قُتِلَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا٘ اَكۡفَرَهٗؕ‏

Qutila Al-'Insānu Mā 'Akfarahu

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

مِنۡ اَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهٗؕ‏

From what substance did He create him

مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗۙ‏

Min Nuţfatin Khalaqahu Faqaddarahu

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

Thumma As-Sabīla Yassarahu

Then He eased the way for him

ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقۡبَرَهٗۙ‏

Thumma 'Amātahu Fa'aqbarahu

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنۡشَرَهٗؕ‏

Thumma 'Idhā Shā'a 'Ansharahu

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَا٘ اَمَرَهٗؕ‏

Kallā Lammā Yaqđi Mā 'Amarahu

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِلٰي طَعَامِهٖ٘ۙ‏

Falyanžuri Al-'Insānu 'Ilá Ţa`āmihi

Then let mankind look at his food

اَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا الۡمَآءَ صَبًّاۙ‏

How We poured down water in torrents

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

And caused to grow within it grain

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ الۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ اَخِيۡهِۙ‏
