[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.
