[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.
