أَن جاءَهُ الأَعمىٰ

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

وَما يُدريكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكّىٰ

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

أَو يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكرىٰ

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمّا مَنِ استَغنىٰ

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدّىٰ

To him you give attention.

وَأَمّا مَن جاءَكَ يَسعىٰ

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

وَهُوَ يَخشىٰ

While he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنهُ تَلَهّىٰ

From him you are distracted.

كَلّا إِنَّها تَذكِرَةٌ

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

فَمَن شاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

So whoever wills may remember it.
