[1] The Prophet frowned and turned away
[2] Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
[3] But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
[4] Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
[5] As for he who thinks himself without need,
[6] To him you give attention.
[7] And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
[8] But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
[9] While he fears [Allah],
[10] From him you are distracted.
[11] No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
[12] So whoever wills may remember it.
[13] [It is recorded] in honored sheets,
[14] Exalted and purified,
[15] [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
[16] Noble and dutiful.
[17] Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
[18] From what substance did He create him?
[19] From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
[20] Then He eased the way for him;
[21] Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
[22] Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
[23] No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
[24] Then let mankind look at his food -
[25] How We poured down water in torrents,
[26] Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
[27] And caused to grow within it grain
[28] And grapes and herbage
[29] And olive and palm trees
[30] And gardens of dense shrubbery
[31] And fruit and grass -
[32] [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
[33] But when there comes the Deafening Blast
[34] On the Day a man will flee from his brother
[35] And his mother and his father
[36] And his wife and his children,
[37] For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
[38] [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
[39] Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
[40] And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
[41] Blackness will cover them.
[42] Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
