عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
'Abasa wa tawallaa.
He frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaa-ahul 'a-maa
When the blind man approached him
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Wa maa yudreeka la'allahu yaz zakkaa.
But how do you know? Perhaps he was seeking to purify himself
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Au yaz zak karu fatanfa 'ahuz zikraa.
Or be reminded, and the message would benefit him
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Amma manis taghnaa
But as for him who was indifferent
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Fa-anta lahu tasaddaa
You gave him your attention
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wa ma 'alaika allaa yaz zakka.
Though you are not liable if he does not purify himself
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Wa amma man jaa-aka yas'a
But as for him who came to you seeking
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhshaa,
In awe
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Fa-anta 'anhu talah haa.
To him you were inattentive
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Kalla innaha tazkirah
Do not. This is a Lesson
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Faman shaa a zakarah
Whoever wills, shall remember it
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
Fi suhufim mukar rama,
On honorable pages
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
Marfoo'atim mutah hara,
Exalted and purified
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
Bi'aidee safara
By the hands of scribes
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Kiraamim bararah.
Noble and devoted
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Qutilal-insanu maa akfarah.
Perish man! How thankless he is
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min aiyyi shai-in Khalaq
From what did He create him
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Min nutfah; khalaqahu faqad-darah.
From a sperm drop He created him, and enabled him
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thummas sabeela yas-sarah
Then He eased the way for him
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu fa-aqbarah
Then He puts him to death, and buries him
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah
Then, when He wills, He will resurrect him
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi maa amarah.
But no, he did not fulfill what He has commanded him
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Falyanzuril insanu ilaa ta-amih
Let man consider his food
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba.
We pour down water in abundance
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Thumma sha qaqnal-arda shaqqa.
Then crack the soil open
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
Fa ambatna feeha habba
And grow in it grains
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
Wa 'inabaw-wa qadba
And grapes and herbs
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
Wa zaitoonaw wanakh la'
And olives and dates
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
Wa hadaa-iqa ghulba
And luscious gardens
وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
Wa faki hataw-wa abba.
And fruits and vegetables
مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ
Mata'al-lakum wa li-an'amikum.
Enjoyment for you, and for your livestock

Faiza jaa-atis saakhah.
But when the Deafening Noise comes to pass
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
Yauma yafir-rul mar-u min akheeh
The Day when a person will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
Wa ummihee wa abeeh
And his mother and his father
وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Wa sahi batihee wa baneeh.
And his consort and his children
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
Likul limri-im-minuhm yaumaa-izin shaa nuy-yughneeh
Every one of them, on that Day, will have enough to preoccupy him
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Wujoo huny-yauma-izim-musfira;
Faces on that Day will be radiant
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Dahi katum mustab shirah
Laughing and rejoicing
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Wa wujoohuy yauma-izin 'alaiha ghabar a
And Faces on that Day will be covered with misery
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Overwhelmed by remorse
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ

These are the faithless, the vicious
