80:1
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١

He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away,



80:2
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ٢

˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.



80:3
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣

You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified,



80:4
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ٤

or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.



80:5
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ٥

As for the one who was indifferent,



80:6
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦

you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention,



80:7
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧

even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.



80:8
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ٨

But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺,



80:9
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ٩

being in awe ˹of Allah˺,



80:10
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ١٠

you were inattentive to him.



80:11
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ١١

But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.



80:12
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ١٢

So let whoever wills be mindful of it.



80:13
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ١٣

It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour—



80:14
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ١٤

highly esteemed, purified—



80:15
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ١٥

by the hands of angel-scribes,



80:16
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ١٦

honourable and virtuous.



80:17
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ١٧

Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺!



80:18
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨

From what substance did He create them?



80:19
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩

He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.



80:20
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠

Then He makes the way easy for them,



80:21
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ٢١

then causes them to die and be buried.



80:22
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢

Then when He wills, He will resurrect them.



80:23
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ٢٣

But no! They have failed to comply with what He ordered.



80:24
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ٢٤

Let people then consider their food:



80:25
اَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ٢٥

how We pour down rain in abundance



80:26
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ٢٦

and meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺,



80:27
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ٢٧

causing grain to grow in it,



80:28
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ٢٨

as well as grapes and greens,



80:29
وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ٢٩

and olives and palm trees,



80:30
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ٣٠

and dense orchards,



80:31
وَفَـٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ٣١

and fruit and fodder—



80:32
مَّتَـٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ٣٢

all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals.



80:33
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣

Then, when the Deafening Blast comes to pass—



80:34
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ٣٤

on that Day every person will flee from their own siblings,



80:35
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ٣٥

and ˹even˺ their mother and father,



80:36
وَصَـٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦

and ˹even˺ their spouse and children.



80:37
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ٣٧

For then everyone will have enough concern of their own.



80:38
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ٣٨

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,



80:39
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ٣٩

laughing and rejoicing,



80:40
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ٤٠

while ˹other˺ faces will be dusty,



80:41
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ٤١

cast in gloom—



80:42
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ٤٢

those are the disbelievers, the ˹wicked˺ sinners.
