[1] (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
[2] Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
[3] But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-
[4] Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
[5] As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
[6] To him dost thou attend;
[7] Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
[8] But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
[9] And with fear (in his heart),
[10] Of him wast thou unmindful.
[11] By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
[12] Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
[13] (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
[14] Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
[15] (Written) by the hands of scribes-
[16] Honourable and Pious and Just.
[17] Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
[18] From what stuff hath He created him?
[19] From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
[20] Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
[21] Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
[22] Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
[23] By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
[24] Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
[25] For that We pour forth water in abundance,
[26] And We split the earth in fragments,
[27] And produce therein corn,
[28] And Grapes and nutritious plants,
[29] And Olives and Dates,
[30] And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
[31] And fruits and fodder,-
[32] For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
[33] At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
[34] That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
[35] And from his mother and his father,
[36] And from his wife and his children.
[37] Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
[38] Some faces that Day will be beaming,
[39] Laughing, rejoicing.
[40] And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
[41] Blackness will cover them:
[42] Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
