Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 80 Aya 1 to 42
 
  1   [ 80: 1 ] He frowned and turned ( his ) back,
  2   [ 80: 2 ] Because there came to him the blind man.
  3   [ 80: 3 ] And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
  4   [ 80: 4 ] Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
  5   [ 80: 5 ] As for him who considers himself free from need ( of you ),
  6   [ 80: 6 ] To him do you address yourself.
  7   [ 80: 7 ] And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
  8   [ 80: 8 ] And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
  9   [ 80: 9 ] And he fears,
  10   [ 80: 10 ] From him will you divert yourself.
  11   [ 80: 11 ] Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
  12   [ 80: 12 ] So let him who pleases mind it.
  13   [ 80: 13 ] In honored books,
  14   [ 80: 14 ] Exalted, purified,
  15   [ 80: 15 ] In the hands of scribes
  16   [ 80: 16 ] Noble, virtuous.
  17   [ 80: 17 ] Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
  18   [ 80: 18 ] Of what thing did He create him?
  19   [ 80: 19 ] Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,
  20   [ 80: 20 ] Then ( as for ) the way-- He has made it easy ( for him )
  21   [ 80: 21 ] Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
  22   [ 80: 22 ] Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
  23   [ 80: 23 ] Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
  24   [ 80: 24 ] Then let man look to his food,
  25   [ 80: 25 ] That We pour down the water, pouring ( it ) down in abundance,
  26   [ 80: 26 ] Then We cleave the earth, cleaving ( it ) asunder,
  27   [ 80: 27 ] Then We cause to grow therein the grain,
  28   [ 80: 28 ] And grapes and clover,
  29   [ 80: 29 ] And the olive and the palm,
  30   [ 80: 30 ] And thick gardens,
  31   [ 80: 31 ] And fruits and herbage
  32   [ 80: 32 ] A provision for you and for your cattle.
  33   [ 80: 33 ] But when the deafening cry comes,
  34   [ 80: 34 ] The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,
  35   [ 80: 35 ] And his mother and his father,
  36   [ 80: 36 ] And his spouse and his son--
  37   [ 80: 37 ] Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.
  38   [ 80: 38 ] ( Many ) faces on that day shall be bright,
  39   [ 80: 39 ] Laughing, joyous.
  40   [ 80: 40 ] And ( many ) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,
  41   [ 80: 41 ] Darkness shall cover them.
  42   [ 80: 42 ] These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
