80:1 عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
80:2 أَن جَاءهُ الْأَعْمَى
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
80:3 وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-
80:4 أَوْ
يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
80:5 أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
80:6 فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى
To him dost thou attend;
80:7 وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
80:8 وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءكَ يَسْعَى
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
80:9 وَهُوَ يَخْشَى
And with fear (in his heart),
80:10 فَأَنتَ
عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى
Of him wast thou unmindful.
80:11 كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
80:12 فَمَن شَاء ذَكَرَهُ
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
80:13 فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
80:14 مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
80:15 بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
80:16 كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
Honourable and Pious and Just.
80:17 قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ
مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
80:18 مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
From what stuff hath He created him?
80:19 مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
80:20 ثُمَّ
السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
80:21 ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
80:22 ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاء أَنشَرَهُ
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
80:23 كَلَّا لَمَّا
يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
80:24 فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
80:25 أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاء صَبّاً
For that We pour forth water in abundance,
80:26 ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقّاً
And We split the earth in fragments,
80:27 فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبّاً
And produce therein corn,
80:28 وَعِنَباً وَقَضْباً
And Grapes and nutritious plants,
80:29 وَزَيْتُوناً وَنَخْلاً
And Olives and Dates,
80:30 وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْباً
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
80:31 وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبّاً
And fruits and fodder,-
80:32 مَّتَاعاً لَّكُمْ
وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
80:33 فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
80:34 يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
80:35 وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
And from his mother and his father,
80:36 وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
And from his wife and his children.
80:37 لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ
يُغْنِيهِ
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
80:38 وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
80:39 ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing.
80:40 وَوُجُوهٌ
يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
80:41 تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them:
80:42 أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
