‘Abasa

He frowned and turned away

— Ali Quli Qarai

when the blind man approached him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself,

— Ali Quli Qarai

or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him!

— Ali Quli Qarai

But as for someone who is wealthy,

— Ali Quli Qarai

you attend to him,

— Ali Quli Qarai

though you are not liable if he does not purify himself.

— Ali Quli Qarai

But as for someone who comes hurrying to you,

— Ali Quli Qarai

while he fears [Allah],

— Ali Quli Qarai

you are neglectful of him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

No indeed! These [verses of the Quran ] are a reminder

— Ali Quli Qarai

—so let anyone who wishes remember—

— Ali Quli Qarai

in honoured scriptures,

— Ali Quli Qarai

exalted and purified,

— Ali Quli Qarai

in the hands of envoys,

— Ali Quli Qarai

noble and pious.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Perish man! How ungrateful is he!

— Ali Quli Qarai

From what did He create him?

— Ali Quli Qarai

He created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid; then proportioned him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Then He made the way easy for him;

— Ali Quli Qarai

then He made him die and buried him;

— Ali Quli Qarai

and then, when He wished, resurrected him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

No indeed! He has not yet carried out what He has commanded him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Let man consider his food:

— Ali Quli Qarai

We pour down plenteous water [from the sky],

— Ali Quli Qarai

then We split the earth making fissures in it

— Ali Quli Qarai

and make the grain grow in it,

— Ali Quli Qarai

as well as vines and vegetables,

— Ali Quli Qarai

olives and date palms,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and densely-planted gardens,

— Ali Quli Qarai

fruits and pastures,

— Ali Quli Qarai

as a sustenance for you and your livestock.

— Ali Quli Qarai

So when the deafening Cry comes—

— Ali Quli Qarai

the day when a man will evade his brother,

— Ali Quli Qarai

his mother and his father,

— Ali Quli Qarai

his spouse and his sons—

— Ali Quli Qarai

each of them will have a task to keep him preoccupied on that day.

— Ali Quli Qarai

Some faces will be bright on that day,

— Ali Quli Qarai

laughing and joyous,

— Ali Quli Qarai

and some faces on that day will be covered with dust,

— Ali Quli Qarai

overcast with gloom.

— Ali Quli Qarai

It is they who are the faithless, the vicious.

— Ali Quli Qarai
