بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
80:1
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
He frowned and turned away,
80:2
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
when the blind man came to him¹.
80:3
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
How would you know? Perhaps he might be purified²,
80:4
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder?
80:5
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
But he who was indifferent³,
80:6
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
you give him your full attention,
80:7
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself⁴.
80:8
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for the one who came to you striving [for purification],
80:9
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
and he fears Allah,
80:10
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
you let yourself be distracted from him.
80:11
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
No indeed; this is a reminder –
80:12
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
so whoever wills may give heed to it –
80:13
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
on venerable pages,
80:14
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
exalted and purified,
80:15
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
[preserved] in the hands of angel-scribes,
80:16
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
honorable and obedient.
80:17
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Woe to man; how ungrateful he is⁵!
80:18
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what did He create him?
80:19
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
He created him from a drop of semen and proportioned him⁶,
80:20
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
then He made the way easy for him⁷;
80:21
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
then He caused him to die and be buried;
80:22
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
80:23
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Yet he has not fulfilled what He commanded him.
80:24
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Let man consider the food he eats:
80:25
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
How We pour down rainwater in torrents,
80:26
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
and cause the soil to split open [for sprouts],
80:27
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
and cause grains to grow in it,
80:28
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
as well as grapes and fodder,
80:29
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
and olive trees and date palms,
80:30
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
and dense orchards,
80:31
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
and fruits and grass,
80:32
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
as provision for you and your livestock.
80:33
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
But when the Deafening Blast⁸ comes,
80:34
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
on that Day everyone will flee from his brother,
80:35
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
and from his mother and father,
80:36
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
and from his wife and children.
80:37
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
On that day, everyone will have enough concern of his own⁹.
80:38
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
On that Day, some faces will be bright,
80:39
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
cheerful and rejoicing;
80:40
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
while other faces will be dust-stained,
80:41
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
covered in darkness.
80:42
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
Such are the disbelievers, the wicked.
