بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

бисмиль-лəhир-рōhмəəнир-рōhиим

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

'əбəсə вəтəвəльлəə

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ

əŋŋ-джəə`əhуль-ə'мəə

when the blind man approached him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

вəмəə йудриикə лə'əльлəhу йəззəккəə

And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ

əу йəз̃з̃əккəру фəтəŋŋфə'əhуз̃-з̃икрōō

or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him!

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

əммəə мəни-стəґнəə

But as for someone who is wealthy,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

фə`əŋŋтə лəhу тəсōддəə

you attend to him,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

вəмəə 'əлэйкə əльлəə йəззəккəə

though you are not liable if he does not purify himself.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

вə`əммəə мəŋŋ-джəə`əкə йəс'əə

But as for someone who comes hurrying to you,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

вəhувə йəхшəə

while he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

фə`əŋŋтə 'əнhу тəлəhhəə

you are neglectful of him.
