عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away,
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ ٢
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣
But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)?
أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ ٤
Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٥
As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ ٨
But as to him who came to you running.
