In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
He frowned and turned (his) back, | |
Because there came to him the blind man. | |
And what would make you know that he would purify himself, | |
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? | |
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), | |
To him do you address yourself. | |
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself | |
And as to him who comes to you striving hard, | |
And he fears, | |
From him will you divert yourself. | |
Nay! surely it is an admonishment. | |
So let him who pleases mind it. | |
In honored books, | |
Exalted, purified, | |
In the hands of scribes | |
Noble, virtuous. | |
Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! | |
Of what thing did He create him? | |
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, | |
Then (as for) the way -- He has made it easy (for him) | |
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, | |
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. | |
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. | |
Then let man look to his food, | |
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, | |
Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, | |
Then We cause to grow therein the grain, | |
And grapes and clover, | |
And the olive and the palm, | |
And thick gardens, | |
And fruits and herbage | |
A provision for you and for your cattle. | |
But when the deafening cry comes, | |
The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, | |
And his mother and his father, | |
And his spouse and his son -- | |
Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. | |
(Many) faces on that day shall be bright, | |
Laughing, joyous. | |
And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, | |
Darkness shall cover them. | |
