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.
