بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
AAabasa watawalla
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away,
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him?

As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him you attend;
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
But as to him who came to you running.
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment),
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition,

Faman shaa thakarahu
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.

Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what thing did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then He makes the Path easy for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave;
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).
