| 1 | He frowned and turned (his) back, | |
| |
| 2 | Because there came to him the blind man. | |
| |
| 3 | And what would make you know that he would purify himself, | |
| |
| 4 | Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? | |
| |
| 5 | As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), | |
| |
| 6 | To him do you address yourself. | |
| |
| 7 | And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself | |
| |
| 8 | And as to him who comes to you striving hard, | |
| |
| 9 | And he fears, | |
| |
| 10 | From him will you divert yourself. | |
| |
| 11 | Nay! surely it is an admonishment. | |
| |
| 12 | So let him who pleases mind it. | |
| |
| 13 | In honored books, | |
| |
| 14 | Exalted, purified, | |
| |
| 15 | In the hands of scribes | |
| |
| 16 | Noble, virtuous. | |
| |
| 17 | Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! | |
| |
| 18 | Of what thing did He create him? | |
| |
| 19 | Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, | |
| |
| 20 | Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) | |
| |
| 21 | Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, | |
| |
| 22 | Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. | |
| |
| 23 | Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. | |
| |
| 24 | Then let man look to his food, | |
| |
| 25 | That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, | |
| |
| 26 | Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, | |
| |
| 27 | Then We cause to grow therein the grain, | |
| |
| 28 | And grapes and clover, | |
| |
| 29 | And the olive and the palm, | |
| |
| 30 | And thick gardens, | |
| |
| 31 | And fruits and herbage | |
| |
| 32 | A provision for you and for your cattle. | |
| |
| 33 | But when the deafening cry comes, | |
| |
| 34 | The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, | |
| |
| 35 | And his mother and his father, | |
| |
| 36 | And his spouse and his son-- | |
| |
| 37 | Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. | |
| |
| 38 | (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, | |
| |
| 39 | Laughing, joyous. | |
| |
| 40 | And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, | |
| |
| 41 | Darkness shall cover them. | |
| |
| 42 | These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked. | |
