| 1 | He frowned and turned away |
| 2 | Because the blind man came unto him. |
| 3 | What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) |
| 4 | Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ? |
| 5 | As for him who thinketh himself independent, |
| 6 | Unto him thou payest regard. |
| 7 | Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). |
| 8 | But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose |
| 9 | And hath fear, |
| 10 | From him thou art distracted. |
| 11 | Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, |
| 12 | So let whosoever will pay heed to it, |
| 13 | On honoured leaves |
| 14 | Exalted, purified, |
| 15 | (Set down) by scribes |
| 16 | Noble and righteous. |
| 17 | Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! |
| 18 | From what thing doth He create him ? |
| 19 | From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, |
| 20 | Then maketh the way easy for him, |
| 21 | Then causeth him to die, and burieth him; |
| 22 | Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. |
| 23 | Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. |
| 24 | Let man consider his food: |
| 25 | How We pour water in showers |
| 26 | Then split the earth in clefts |
| 27 | And cause the grain to grow therein |
| 28 | And grapes and green fodder |
| 29 | And olive-trees and palm-trees |
| 30 | And garden-closes of thick foliage |
| 31 | And fruits and grasses: |
| 32 | Provision for you and your cattle. |
| 33 | But when the Shout cometh |
| 34 | On the day when a man fleeth from his brother |
| 35 | And his mother and his father |
| 36 | And his wife and his children, |
| 37 | Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). |
| 38 | On that day faces will be bright as dawn, |
| 39 | Laughing, rejoicing at good news; |
| 40 | And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, |
| 41 | Veiled in darkness, |
| 42 | Those are the disbelievers, the wicked. |
