    Translation by Safi Kaskas

    Verse 1

    He frowned and turned away

    Verse 2

    when the blind man approached him

    Verse 3

    For all you know, he might be seeking to purify himself

    Verse 4

    or to be reminded and be helped by being reminded

    Verse 5

    As for him who was indifferent

    Verse 6

    you [Prophet] gave him your attention

    Verse 7

    Though it is not up to you whether or not he is purified

    Verse 8

    As for him who came to you eagerly

    Verse 9

    with God's fear in his heart

    Verse 10

    from him you are distracted

    Verse 11

    Indeed this is a reminder

    Verse 12

    So, whoever wills may remember it

    Verse 13

    it is [written] on honored sheets

    Verse 14

    Exalted and purified

    Verse 15

    by the hands of scribes

    Verse 16

    honorable and virtuous

    Verse 17

    How regretful it is for people to have so much self-destructive ingratitude

    Verse 18

    From what did He create him

    Verse 19

    From a fertilized ovum He created him and proportioned him

    Verse 20

    Then He eased the way for him

    Verse 21

    Then He causes him to die and to be buried

    Verse 22

    Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

    Verse 23

    No! He did not fulfill what He has commanded him

    Verse 24

    A human being has only to consider the food he eats

    Verse 25

    We poured down water in abundance

    Verse 26

    and caused the soil to break open

    Verse 27

    and grew grains in it

    Verse 28

    and grapes and legumes

    Verse 29

    olive and dates

    Verse 30

    and luxurious gardens

    Verse 31

    and fruits and vegetable

    Verse 32

    for you and your livestock to enjoy

    Verse 33

    But when the Deafening Blast comes

    Verse 34

    on the Day when a human being will flee from his brother

    Verse 35

    his mother, his father

    Verse 36

    his wife and his children

    Verse 37

    every one of them, on that Day, will have enough to preoccupy him

    Verse 38

    Faces on that Day will be beaming

    Verse 39

    laughing and rejoicing

    Verse 40

    And [other] faces, on that Day, will be covered with dust

    Verse 41

    overwhelmed by sorrow

    Verse 42

    These are the unbelievers, the wicked ones
