'Abasa


عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned away


أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

when the blind man came to him––


وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

for all you know, he might have grown in spirit,


أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

or taken note of something useful to him.


أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

For the self-satisfied one


فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

you go out of your way––


وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

though you are not to be blamed for his lack of spiritual growth––


وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness


وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

and awe


فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

you allow yourself to be distracted.


كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ

No indeed! This [Quran] is a lesson
