| 80:1 | | He frowned and turned his back |
| 80:2 | | for that there came to him a blind man |
| 80:3 | | But what should make thee know whether haply he may be purified |
| 80:4 | | or may be mindful and the reminder profit him |
| 80:5 | | But as for him who is wealthy |
| 80:6 | | thou dost attend to him |
| 80:7 | | and thou dost not care that he is not purified |
| 80:8 | | but as for him who comes to thee earnestl |
| 80:9 | | fearing the while |
| 80:10 | | from him thou art diverted |
| 80:11 | | Nay! verily, it is a memorial |
| 80:12 | | and whoso pleases will remember it |
| 80:13 | | In honoured page |
| 80:14 | | exalted, purified |
| 80:15 | | in the hands o |
| 80:16 | | noble, righteous scribes |
| 80:17 | | May man be killed! how ungrateful he is |
| 80:18 | | Of what did He create him |
| 80:19 | | Of a clot. He created him and fated him |
| 80:20 | | then the path He did make easy for him |
| 80:21 | | then He killed him, and laid him in the tomb |
| 80:22 | | then when He pleases will He raise him up again |
| 80:23 | | Nay, he has not fulfilled his bidding |
| 80:24 | | But let man look unto his foods |
| 80:25 | | Verily, we have poured the water out in torrents |
| 80:26 | | then we have cleft the earth asunder |
| 80:27 | | and made to grow therefrom the grain |
| 80:28 | | and the grape, and the hay |
| 80:29 | | and the olive, and the palm |
| 80:30 | | and gardens closely planted |
| 80:31 | | and fruits, and grass, |
| 80:32 | | a provision for you and for your cattle |
| 80:33 | | But when the stunning noise shall come |
| 80:34 | | on the day when man shall flee from his brothe |
| 80:35 | | and his mother and his fathe |
| 80:36 | | and his spouse and his sons |
| 80:37 | | Every man among them on that day shall have a business to employ him |
| 80:38 | | Faces on that day shall be bright, |
| 80:39 | | laughing, joyous |
| 80:40 | | and faces shall have dust upon them, |
| 80:41 | | darkness shall cover them |
| 80:42 | | those are the wicked misbelievers |
