Abasa

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿1﴾

'Abasa wa tawallaa.

80:1He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ﴿2﴾

An jaa-ahul 'a-maa

80:2when the blind man approached him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿3﴾

Wa maa yudreeka la'allahu yaz zakkaa.

80:3And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿4﴾

Au yaz zak karu fatanfa 'ahuz zikraa.

80:4or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him!

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿5﴾

Amma manis taghnaa

80:5But as for someone who is wealthy,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿6﴾

Fa-anta lahu tasaddaa

80:6you attend to him,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿7﴾

Wa ma 'alaika allaa yaz zakka.

80:7though you are not liable if he does not purify himself.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿8﴾

Wa amma man jaa-aka yas'a

80:8But as for someone who comes hurrying to you,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿9﴾

Wahuwa yakhshaa,

80:9while he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿10﴾

Fa-anta 'anhu talah haa.

80:10you are neglectful of him.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ﴿11﴾

Kalla innaha tazkirah

80:11No indeed! These [verses of the Quran ] are a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿12﴾

Faman shaa a zakarah

80:12—so let anyone who wishes remember—

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ﴿13﴾

Fi suhufim mukar rama,

80:13in honoured scriptures,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ﴿14﴾

80:16noble and pious.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ﴿17﴾

80:17Perish man! How ungrateful is he!

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ﴿18﴾

Min aiyyi shai-in Khalaq

80:18From what did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ﴿19﴾

Min nutfah; khalaqahu faqad-darah.

80:19He created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid; then proportioned him.

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿20﴾

Thummas sabeela yas-sarah

80:20Then He made the way easy for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ﴿21﴾

Thumma amatahu fa-aqbarah

80:21then He made him die and buried him;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ﴿22﴾

Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah

80:22and then, when He wished, resurrected him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ﴿23﴾

Kalla lamma yaqdi maa amarah.

80:23No indeed! He has not yet carried out what He has commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ﴿24﴾

Falyanzuril insanu ilaa ta-amih

80:24Let man consider his food:

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ﴿25﴾

Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba.

80:25We pour down plenteous water [from the sky],

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ﴿26﴾

Thumma sha qaqnal-arda shaqqa.

80:26then We split the earth making fissures in it

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ﴿27﴾

Fa ambatna feeha habba

80:27and make the grain grow in it,

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ﴿28﴾

Wa 'inabaw-wa qadba

80:28as well as vines and vegetables,

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ﴿29﴾

Wa zaitoonaw wanakh la'

80:32as a sustenance for you and your livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ﴿33﴾

Faiza jaa-atis saakhah.

80:33So when the deafening Cry comes—

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿34﴾

Yauma yafir-rul mar-u min akheeh

80:34the day when a man will evade his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿35﴾

Wa ummihee wa abeeh

80:35his mother and his father,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿36﴾

Wa sahi batihee wa baneeh.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ﴿38﴾

Wujoo huny-yauma-izim-musfira;

80:38Some faces will be bright on that day,

80:40and some faces on that day will be covered with dust,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿41﴾

Tarhaquha qatarah.

80:41overcast with gloom.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ﴿42﴾

Ulaa-ika humul-kafa ratul-fajarah.

80:42It is they who are the faithless, the vicious.
