He Frowned — Bridges Translation – Parallel Quran

1 He Frowned

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

He frowned and turned away

AAabasa watawalla

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

when the blind man approached him.

An jaahu al-aAAma

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

But what could make yousg realize that perhaps he was seeking to purify himself,

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

or to be reminded so that the reminder would benefit him?

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

But as for the one who thought himself self-sufficient,

Amma mani istaghna

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

yousg give him your attention,

Faanta lahu tasadda

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

though you are not liable if he never purifies himself.

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

Yet, as for the one who came to you rushing

Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

with fear (of Allah),

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

to him you are inattentive.

Faanta AAanhu talahha

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

But no, indeed this is a Reminder.

Kalla innaha tathkiratun

فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

So whoever wills shall remember it.
