He Frowned — Munir Mezyed Translation – Parallel Quran

1 He Frowned

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

He (-Muhammad-) frowned and turned away

AAabasa watawalla

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

As there came to him the blind man, (interrupting).

An jaahu al-aAAma

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

How would you know? Probably he came you in order to be purified,

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Or to receive admonition that might benefit him.

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

But the one who considers himself free from need,

Amma mani istaghna

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

You gave him too much attention.

Faanta lahu tasadda

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

Yet it is not your concern if he will not be purified.

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But, as for the one who came to you, seeking for spiritual insight,

Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

Being afraid (of the consequences of his disbelief),

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

You ignored him.

Faanta AAanhu talahha

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

Nay! It is indeed an admonishment.

Kalla innaha tathkiratun

فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

Consequently, whoever wills will pay attention to it.

Faman shaa thakarahu

فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ

It is (mentioned) in Honorable Books,

Fee suhufin mukarramatin

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ

Bi-aydee safaratin

قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

Man seeks his own destruction. How ‘impious’ he is!

Qutila al-insanu ma akfarahu

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ

Of what substance did He create him?

Min ayyi shay-in khalaqahu

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

Of a sperm-drop, He created him. Then He proportioned him.

Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Then He made the path easy for him.

Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ

Then He caused him to die and made a tomb for him.

Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ

Consequently, when He wills, He will bring him again to life.

Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ

Nay! Man has not fulfilled what Allâh has commanded him.

Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ

Let man look at his food!

Falyanthuri al-insanu ila taAAamihi

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا

We poured down water in abundance,

Anna sababna almaa sabban

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

And then We split the earth in rifts,

Thumma shaqaqna al-arda shaqqan

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

Since each one of them, that ‘day’, will have enough trouble of his own, which makes him careless of others.
