وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ

Research rendering: a constricted life
The life is assigned as the immediate adverse result of turning away and is paired with being gathered blind; a positive ease reading reverses the clause's consequence structure.
