He frowned and turned awa
that the blind man came to him
And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him
or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him
But the self-sufficient
to him thou attendes
though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself
And he who comes to thee eagerly
and fearfully
to him thou payest no heed
No indeed; it is a Reminde
(and whoso wills, shall remember it
upon pages high-honoured
uplifted, purified
by the hands of scribe
noble, pious
Perish Man! How unthankful he is
Of what did He create him
Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him
then the way eased for him
then makes him to die, and buries him
then, when He wills, He raises him
No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding
Let Man consider his nourishment
We poured out the rains abundantly
then We split the earth in fissure
and therein made the grains to gro
and vines, and reeds
and olives, and palms
and dense-tree'd gardens
and fruits, and pastures
an enjoyment for you and your flocks
And when the Blast shall sound
upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother
his mother, his father
his consort, his sons
every man that day shall have business to suffice him
Some faces on that day shall shin
laughing, joyous
some faces on that day shall be dust
o'erspread with darkness -
those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines
