أن جاءه الأعمى
Because there came to him the blind man.
An jaahu alaAAma
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
أما من استغنى
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
Amma mani istaghna
فأنت له تصدى
To him do you address yourself.
Faanta lahu tasadda
وما عليك ألا يزكى
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
وأما من جاءك يسعى
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
وهو يخشى
And he fears,
Wahuwa yakhsha
فأنت عنه تلهى
From him will you divert yourself.
