عَبَسَ
He frowned
وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
and turned away
(2)
أَن
Because
جَآءَهُ
came to him
ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
the blind man
(3)
وَمَا
But what
يُدْرِيكَ
would make you know
لَعَلَّهُۥ
that he might
يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
purify himself
(4)
أَوْ
Or
يَذَّكَّرُ
be reminded
فَتَنفَعَهُ
so would benefit him
ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
the reminder?
(5)
أَمَّا
As for
مَنِ
(him) who
ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
considers himself free from need
(6)
فَأَنتَ
So you
لَهُۥ
to him
تَصَدَّىٰ
give attention
(7)
وَمَا
And not
عَلَيْكَ
upon you
أَلَّا
that not
يَزَّكَّىٰ
he purifies himself
(8)
وَأَمَّا
But as for
مَن
(he) who
جَآءَكَ
came to you
يَسْعَىٰ
striving
(9)
وَهُوَ
While he
يَخْشَىٰ
fears
(10)
فَأَنتَ
But you
عَنْهُ
from him
تَلَهَّىٰ
(are) distracted
(11)
كَلَّآ
Nay!
إِنَّهَا
Indeed it
تَذْكِرَةٌ
(is) a reminder
(12)
فَمَن
So whosoever
شَآءَ
wills
ذَكَرَهُۥ
may remember it
(13)
فِى
In
صُحُفٍ
sheets
مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
honored
(14)
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ
Exalted
مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
purified
(15)
بِأَيْدِى
In (the) hands
سَفَرَةٍ
(of) scribes
(16)
كِرَامٍۭ
Noble
بَرَرَةٍ
dutiful
(17)
قُتِلَ
Is destroyed
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ
the man
مَآ
how
أَكْفَرَهُۥ
ungrateful is he!
(18)
مِنْ
From
أَىِّ
what
شَىْءٍ
thing
خَلَقَهُۥ
He created him?
(19)
مِن
From
نُّطْفَةٍ
a sperm drop
خَلَقَهُۥ
He created him
فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
then He proportioned him
(20)
ثُمَّ
Then
ٱلسَّبِيلَ
the way
يَسَّرَهُۥ
He made easy for him
