عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ١

'əбəсə вəтəвəльлəə

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ٢

əӈ-джəə'əhуль-ə'мəə

when the blind man approached him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ٣

вəмəə йудриикə лə'əльлəhу йəззəккəə

And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ٤

əу йəз̃з̃əккəру фəтəӈфə'əhу з̃з̃икрōō

or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him!

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٥

əммəə мəни-стəґнəə

But as for someone who is wealthy,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ٦

фəəӈтə лəhу тəсōддəə

you attend to him,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ٧

вəмəə 'əлэйкə əльлəə йəззəккəə

though you are not liable if he does not purify himself.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ٨

вəəммəə мəӈ-джəə'əкə йəс'əə

But as for someone who comes hurrying to you,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ٩

вəhувə йəхшəə

while he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ١٠

фəəӈтə 'əнhу тəлəhhəə

you are neglectful of him.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ١١

кəльлəə иннəhəə тəз̃кирōh

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

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ١٢

фəмəӈ-шəə'ə з̃əкəрōh

—so let anyone who wishes remember—

فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ١٣

фии суhуфимм-мукəррōмəh

in honoured scriptures,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ١٤

мəрфуу'əтимм-мут̣ōhhəрōh

exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ١٥

биəйдии сəфəрōh

in the hands of envoys,

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٍ١٦

кирōōмимм-бəрōрōh

noble and pious.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ١٧

ќутилəль-иӈсəəну мəə əкфəрōh

Perish man! How ungrateful is he!

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ١٨

мин əййи шэй'ин хōлəќōh

From what did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ١٩

мин-нут̣фəтин хōлəќōhу фəќōддəрōh

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

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ٢٠

c̃уммə ссəбиилə йəссəрōh

Then He made the way easy for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ٢١

c̃уммə əмəəтəhу фəəќбəрōh

then He made him die and buried him;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ٢٢

c̃уммə из̃əə шəə'ə əӈшəрōh

and then, when He wished, resurrected him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ٢٣

кəльлəə лəммəə йəќды мəə əмəрōh

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

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ٢٤

фəльйəӈз̃уриль-иӈсəəну илəə т̣ō'əəмиh

Let man consider his food:

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا٢٥

əннəə сōбəбнəəль-мəə'ə сōббə

We pour down plenteous water [from the sky],

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا٢٦

c̃уммə шəќōќнəəль-əрдō шəќќō

then We split the earth making fissures in it

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا٢٧

фəəмм-бəтнəə фииhəə həббə

and make the grain grow in it,

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا٢٨

вə'инəбəу-вəќōдбə

as well as vines and vegetables,

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلاً٢٩

вəзəйтуунəу-вəнəхлə

olives and date palms,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا٣٠

вəhəдəə'иќō ґульбə

and densely-planted gardens,

وَفَـٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا٣١

вəфəəкиhəтəу-вəəббə

fruits and pastures,

مَّتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ٣٢

мəтəə'əль-лəкум вəлиəн'əəмикум

as a sustenance for you and your livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ٣٣

фəиз̃əə джəə'əти ссōōххōh

So when the deafening Cry comes—

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ٣٤

йəумə йəфирруль-мəр'у мин əхыыh

the day when a man will evade his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ٣٥

вəуммиhи вəəбииh

his mother and his father,

وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ٣٦

вəсōōhибəтиhи вəбəнииh

his spouse and his sons—

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِىٍٕ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ٣٧

ликулли-мри'имм-минhум йəумə'из̃ин шəнуй-йуґнииh

each of them will have a task to keep him preoccupied on that day.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ٣٨

вуджууhуй-йəумə'из̃имм-мусфирōh

Some faces will be bright on that day,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ٣٩

дōōhикəтумм-мустəбширōh

laughing and joyous,

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ٤٠

вəвуджууhуй-йəумə'из̃ин 'əлэйhəə ґōбəрōh

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

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ٤١

тəрhəќуhəə ќōтəрōh

overcast with gloom.

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ٤٢

уулəə'икə hумуль-кəфəрōтуль-фəджəрōh

It is they who are the faithless, the vicious.
