He frowned and turned away
because the blind man came to him
And what would apprise thee? Perhaps he would purify himself
or be reminded, such that the reminder might benefit him
As for him who deems himself beyond need
to him dost thou attend
though thou art not answerable, should he not be purified
But as for him who came to thee striving earnestl
while fearful
from him thou art diverted
Nay! Truly it is a reminder
so let whomsoever will, remember it
on pages honored
exalted and purified
in the hands of scribes
noble and pious
May man perish! How ungrateful is he
From what thing did He create him
From a drop He created him, then proportioned him
then He made the way easy for him
Then He caused him to die and buried him
Then, when He willed, He resurrected him
Nay! But he has not accomplished what He commanded him
So let man consider his food
that We pour down water in abundance
then We split the earth in fissures
and cause grains to grow therein
and vines and herbs
and olives and date palms
and gardens densely planted
and fruit and pastures
as sustenance for you and for your flocks
So when the Piercing Cry does come
that Day when a man will flee from his brother
and his mother and his father
and his spouse and his children
For every man that Day his affair shall suffice him
Faces that Day shall be shining, radiant
laughing, joyous
And faces that Day shall be covered with dust
overspread with darkness
Those, they are the disbelievers, the profligates
