Because there came to him the blind man

An jaahu al-aAAma

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

And what would make thee know that he would purify himself

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Or, that he would take heed and the taking of heed would benefit him

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

How could it be that he who is disdainfully indifferent to the Truth

Amma mani istaghna

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

Unto him thou shouldst pay attention

Faanta lahu tasadda

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

Though thou art not responsible if he does not become purified

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But he who comes to thee hastening

Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

And he fears God

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

Him shouldst thou neglect

Faanta AAanhu talahha

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

That should not be ! Surely, it is a Reminder
