1. 80:1

   He [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ) ] frowned and turned away

2. 80:2

   Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

3. 80:3

   But what would make you perceive, [O Muḥammad], that perhaps he might be purified

4. 80:4

   Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

5. 80:5

   As for he who thinks himself without need,

6. 80:6

   To him you give attention.

7. 80:7

   And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

8. 80:8

   But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

9. 80:9

   While he fears [Allāh],

10. 80:10

    From him you are distracted.

11. 80:11

    No! Indeed, they [i.e., these verses] are a reminder;

12. 80:12

    So whoever wills may remember it.

13. 80:13

    [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

14. 80:14

    Exalted and purified,

15. 80:15

    [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

16. 80:16

    Noble and dutiful.

17. 80:17

    Destroyed [i.e., cursed] is man; how disbelieving is he.

18. 80:18

    From what thing [i.e., substance] did He create him?

19. 80:19

    From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

20. 80:20

    Then He eased the way for him;

21. 80:21

    Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

22. 80:22

    Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

23. 80:23

    No! He [i.e., man] has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

24. 80:24

    Then let mankind look at his food -

25. 80:25

    How We poured down water in torrents,

26. 80:26

    Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

27. 80:27

    And caused to grow within it grain

28. 80:28

    And grapes and herbage

29. 80:29

    And olive and palm trees

30. 80:30

    And gardens of dense shrubbery

31. 80:31

    And fruit and grass -

32. 80:32

    [As] enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

33. 80:33

    But when there comes the Deafening Blast

34. 80:34

    On the Day a man will flee from his brother

35. 80:35

    And his mother and his father

36. 80:36

    And his wife and his children,

37. 80:37

    For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

38. 80:38

    [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

39. 80:39

    Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

40. 80:40

    And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
