He Frowned
He Frowned
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. [80.1] He frowned and turned (his) back, [80.2] Because there came to him the blind man. [80.3] And what would make you know that he would purify himself, [80.4] Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? [80.5] As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), [80.6] To him do you address yourself. [80.7] And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself [80.8] And as to him who comes to you striving hard, [80.9] And he fears, [80.10] From him will you divert yourself. [80.11] Nay! surely it is an admonishment. [80.12] So let him who pleases mind it. [80.13] In honored books, [80.14] Exalted, purified, [80.15] In the hands of scribes [80.16] Noble, virtuous. [80.17] Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! [80.18] Of what thing did He create him? [80.19] Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, [80.20] Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) [80.21] Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, [80.22] Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. [80.23] Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. [80.24] Then let man look to his food, [80.25] That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, [80.26] Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, [80.27] Then We cause to grow therein the grain, [80.28] And grapes and clover, [80.29] And the olive and the palm, [80.30] And thick gardens, [80.31] And fruits and herbage [80.32] A provision for you and for your cattle. [80.33] But when the deafening cry comes, [80.34] The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, [80.35] And his mother and his father, [80.36] And his spouse and his son-- [80.37] Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. [80.38] (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, [80.39] Laughing, joyous. [80.40] And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, [80.41] Darkness shall cover them. [80.42] These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
