فُصِّلَت : ٥١

  • وَإِذَآ And when
  • أَنۡعَمۡنَا We bestow favor
  • عَلَى upon
  • ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ man
  • أَعۡرَضَ he turns away
  • وَنَـَٔا and distances himself
  • بِجَانِبِهِۦ and distances himself
  • وَإِذَا but when
  • مَسَّهُ touches him
  • ٱلشَّرُّ the evil
  • فَذُو then (he is) full
  • دُعَآءٍ (of) supplication
  • عَرِيضٖ lengthy
And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.
And when We bestow graces upon man (insaan, the generic noun [is meant]), he shows disregard, of giving thanks, and turns aside, turns his head in arrogance (a variant reading [for naa'a] has na'aa); but when ill befalls him, he makes prolonged supplications.
