He frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Because the blind man came unto him.
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Unto him thou payest regard.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ١٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
From him thou art distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ١١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ١٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ١٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
On honoured leaves
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ١٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Exalted, purified,
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ١٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful!
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
From what thing doth He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then maketh the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ٢١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ٢٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ٢٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Let man consider his food:
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا ٢٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
How We pour water in showers
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ٢٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Then split the earth in clefts
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ٢٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And cause the grain to grow therein
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ٢٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And grapes and green fodder
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ٢٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And olive-trees and palm-trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا ٣٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And garden-closes of thick foliage
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ٣١
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And fruits and grasses:
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ٣٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Provision for you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
But when the Shout cometh
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ٣٤
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ٣٥
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ٣٧
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ٣٨
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ٣٩
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ٤٠
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ٤٢
Marmaduke Pickthall
public domain
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
