Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

122 Then his Lord chose him,
and turned to him clemently,
and guided him.
123 He said,
‘Get down both of you ¹ from it, all together,
being enemies of one another!
Yet, should any guidance come to you from Me,
those who follow My guidance
will not go astray, nor will they be miserable.
124 But whoever disregards My remembrance,
his shall be a wretched life,
and on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him
blind.’
125 He will say, ‘My Lord!
Why have You raised me blind,
though I used to see?’
126 He will say: ‘So it is.
Our signs came to you, but you forgot them,
and thus you will be forgotten today.’
127 Thus do We requite him who is a profligate
and does not believe in the signs of his Lord.
And the punishment of the Hereafter is severer
and more lasting.
128 Does it not dawn upon them
how many generations We have destroyed before them,
amid [the ruins of] whose dwellings they walk?
There are indeed signs in this
for those who have reason.
129 And were it not for a prior decree of your Lord
