| | John Medows Rodwell rendition of Surah He Frowned(`Abasa)
--- |
|---|
| 80:1 | | HE FROWNED, and he turned his back |
| 80:2 | | Because the blind man came to him |
| 80:3 | | But what assured thee that he would not be cleansed by the Faith |
| 80:4 | | Or be warned, and the warning profit him |
| 80:5 | | As to him who is wealthy |
| 80:6 | | To him thou wast all attention |
| 80:7 | | Yet is it not thy concern if he be not cleansed |
| 80:8 | | But as to him who cometh to thee in earnest |
| 80:9 | | And full of fears |
| 80:10 | | Him dost thou neglect |
| 80:11 | | Nay! but it (the Koran) is a warning |
| 80:12 | | (And whoso is willing beareth it in mind |
| 80:13 | | Written on honoured pages |
| 80:14 | | Exalted, purified |
| 80:15 | | By the hands of Scribes, honoured, righteous |
| 80:16 | | Cursed be man! What hath made him unbelieving |
| 80:17 | | Of what thing did God create him |
| 80:18 | | Out of moist germs |
| 80:19 | | He created him and fashioned him |
| 80:20 | | Then made him an easy passage from the womb |
| 80:21 | | Then causeth him to die and burieth him |
| 80:22 | | Then, when he pleaseth, will raise him again to life |
| 80:23 | | Aye! but man hath not yet fulfilled the bidding of his Lord |
| 80:24 | | Let man look at his food |
| 80:25 | | It was We who rained down the copious rains |
| 80:26 | | Then cleft the earth with clefts |
| 80:27 | | And caused the upgrowth of the grain |
| 80:28 | | And grapes and healing herbs |
| 80:29 | | And the olive and the palm |
| 80:30 | | And enclosed gardens thick with trees |
| 80:31 | | And fruits and herbage |
| 80:32 | | For the service of yourselves and of your cattle |
| 80:33 | | But when the stunning trumpet-blast shall arrive |
| 80:34 | | On that day shall a man fly from his brother |
| 80:35 | | And his mother and his father |
| 80:36 | | And his wife and his children |
| 80:37 | | For every man of them on that day his own concerns shall be enough |
| 80:38 | | There shall be faces on that day radiant |
| 80:39 | | Laughing and joyous |
| 80:40 | | And faces on that day with dust upon them |
| 80:41 | | Blackness shall cover them |
| 80:42 | | These are the Infidels, the Impure |
