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. |
