أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich

Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
