وَمِنْهُم
مَّن
يَسْتَمِعُونَ
إِلَيْكَ
أَفَأَنتَ
تُسْمِعُ
الصُّمَّ
وَلَوْ
كَانُوا
لَا
يَعْقِلُونَ
wa-minhum man yastamiʿūna ʾilayka ʾa-fa-ʾanta tusmiʿu ṣ-ṣumma wa-law kānū lā yaʿqilūna
There are some of them who prick up their ears at you. But can you make the deaf hear even if they do not exercise their reason?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding?
