80: He Frowned!
|
| 1 |
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
|
| 2 |
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
|
| 3 |
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in
spiritual understanding)?-
|
| 4 |
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit
him?
|
| 5 |
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
|
| 6 |
To him dost thou attend;
|
| 7 |
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual
understanding).
|
| 8 |
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
|
| 9 |
And with fear (in his heart),
|
| 10 |
Of him wast thou unmindful.
|
| 11 |
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of
instruction:
|
| 12 |
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
|
| 13 |
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
|
| 14 |
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
|
| 15 |
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
|
| 16 |
Honourable and Pious and Just.
|
| 17 |
Woe to man! What hath made him reject God;
|
| 18 |
From what stuff hath He created him?
|
| 19 |
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due
proportions;
|
| 20 |
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
|
| 21 |
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
|
| 22 |
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
|
| 23 |
By no means hath he fulfilled what God hath commanded him.
|
| 24 |
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
|
| 25 |
For that We pour forth water in abundance,
|
| 26 |
And We split the earth in fragments,
|
| 27 |
And produce therein corn,
|
| 28 |
And Grapes and nutritious plants,
|
| 29 |
And Olives and Dates,
|
| 30 |
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
|
| 31 |
And fruits and fodder,-
|
| 32 |
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
|
| 33 |
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
|
| 34 |
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
|
| 35 |
And from his mother and his father,
|
| 36 |
And from his wife and his children.
|
| 37 |
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to
make him indifferent to the others.
|
| 38 |
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
|
| 39 |
Laughing, rejoicing.
|
| 40 |
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
|
| 41 |
Blackness will cover them:
|
| 42 |
Such will be the Rejecters of God, the doers of iniquity.
