| 080.000 He Frowned
|
| 080.001 |
He frowned and turned away |
| 080.002 |
Because the blind man came unto him. |
| 080.003 |
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) |
| 080.004 |
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ? |
| 080.005 |
As for him who thinketh himself independent, |
| 080.006 |
Unto him thou payest regard. |
| 080.007 |
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). |
| 080.008 |
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose |
| 080.009 |
And hath fear, |
| 080.010 |
From him thou art distracted. |
| 080.011 |
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, |
| 080.012 |
So let whosoever will pay heed to it, |
| 080.013 |
On honoured leaves |
| 080.014 |
Exalted, purified, |
| 080.015 |
(Set down) by scribes |
| 080.016 |
Noble and righteous. |
| 080.017 |
Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! |
| 080.018 |
From what thing doth He create him ? |
| 080.019 |
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, |
| 080.020 |
Then maketh the way easy for him, |
| 080.021 |
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him; |
| 080.022 |
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. |
| 080.023 |
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. |
| 080.024 |
Let man consider his food: |
| 080.025 |
How We pour water in showers |
| 080.026 |
Then split the earth in clefts |
| 080.027 |
And cause the grain to grow therein |
| 080.028 |
And grapes and green fodder |
| 080.029 |
And olive-trees and palm-trees |
| 080.030 |
And garden-closes of thick foliage |
| 080.031 |
And fruits and grasses: |
| 080.032 |
Provision for you and your cattle. |
| 080.033 |
But when the Shout cometh |
| 080.034 |
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother |
| 080.035 |
And his mother and his father |
| 080.036 |
And his wife and his children, |
| 080.037 |
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). |
| 080.038 |
On that day faces will be bright as dawn, |
| 080.039 |
Laughing, rejoicing at good news; |
| 080.040 |
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, |
| 080.041 |
Veiled in darkness, |
| 080.042 |
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked. |
