He frowned and turned (his) back,
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaa-ahul 'a-maa
Because there came to him the blind man.
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Wa maa yudreeka la'allahu yaz zakkaa.
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Au yaz zak karu fatanfa 'ahuz zikraa.
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?

As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Fa-anta lahu tasaddaa
To him do you address yourself.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wa ma 'alaika allaa yaz zakka.
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself

Wa amma man jaa-aka yas'a
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhshaa
And he fears,
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Fa-anta 'anhu talah haa.
From him will you divert yourself.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Qutilal-insanu maa akfarah.
Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min aiyyi shai-in Khalaq
Of what thing did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Min nutfah; khalaqahu faqad-darah.
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thummas sabeela yas-sarah
Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him)
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu fa-aqbarah
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi maa amarah.
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Falyanzuril insanu ilaa ta-amih
Then let man look to his food,
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا
Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba.
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا
Thumma sha qaqnal-arda shaqqa.
Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا
Fa ambatna feeha habba
Then We cause to grow therein the grain,
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا

Likul limri-im-minuhm yaumaa-izin shaa nuy-yughneeh
