HE FROWNED, and he turned his back
Because the blind man came to him
But what assured thee that he would not be cleansed by the Faith
Or be warned, and the warning profit him
As to him who is wealthy
To him thou wast all attention
Yet is it not thy concern if he be not cleansed
But as to him who cometh to thee in earnest
And full of fears
Him dost thou neglect
Nay! but it (the Koran) is a warning
(And whoso is willing beareth it in mind
Written on honoured pages
Exalted, purified
By the hands of Scribes, honoured, righteous
Cursed be man! What hath made him unbelieving
Of what thing did God create him
Out of moist germs
He created him and fashioned him
Then made him an easy passage from the womb
Then causeth him to die and burieth him
Then, when he pleaseth, will raise him again to life
Aye! but man hath not yet fulfilled the bidding of his Lord
Let man look at his food
It was We who rained down the copious rains
Then cleft the earth with clefts
And caused the upgrowth of the grain
And grapes and healing herbs
And the olive and the palm
And enclosed gardens thick with trees
And fruits and herbage
For the service of yourselves and of your cattle
But when the stunning trumpet-blast shall arrive
On that day shall a man fly from his brother
And his mother and his father
And his wife and his children
For every man of them on that day his own concerns shall be enough
There shall be faces on that day radiant
Laughing and joyous
And faces on that day with dust upon them
Blackness shall cover them
These are the Infidels, the Impure
