English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

He frowned and turned away

because the blind man came to him

What will make you realize that he may [yet] be purified (of disbelief)

or even reminded, and the Reminder may benefit him

However anyone who seems indifferent

you will attend to

It is not your concern whether he will purify himself (or not)

Yet with someone who comes to you eagerly

and anxiously

you act so distracted

Indeed, it serves as a Reminder

Anyone who wishes should remember how it

[exists] on honored pages

which are held aloft [for display], cleansed

by the hands of noble, virtuous scribes

Let man be damned! What makes him act ungrateful

From what sort of thing did He create him

From a drop of semen has He created him and proportioned him

Then He made the Way easy for him

next He will let him die and bury him

Then [later on] He will raise him up again whenever He may wish

Of course he does not accomplish what He orders him to

So let man look at his own food

We let water pour down abundantly

then We split the earth right open

and cause grain to sprout from it

and grapes and fodder

olive trees, datepalms

and dense woodlots

and fruit[-trees) and pastures

as an enjoyment for both you and your livestock

When the uproar comes

on a day when man will flee from his brother

his mother and his father

his mate and his children

every last man among them will have enough concern that day to keep him occupied

Some faces will be beaming on that day

laughing, rejoicing

while other faces will be covered with grime on that day

soot will overshadow them

Those will be the shameless disbelievers
