عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

The Prophet frowned and turned away

AAabasa watawalla

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

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

An jaahu alaAAma

وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

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

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

As for he who thinks himself without need

Amma mani istaghna

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

To him you give attention

Faanta lahu tasadda

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

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

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

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

Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

While he fears [Allah]

Wahuwa yakhsha

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

From him you are distracted

Faanta AAanhu talahha

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what substance did He create him

Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Then let mankind look at his food

Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا

How We poured down water in torrents

Anna sababna almaa sabban

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا
