أَفَلَمْ
يَسِيرُوا
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
فَتَكُونَ
لَهُمْ
قُلُوبٌ
يَعْقِلُونَ
بِهَا
أَوْ
آذَانٌ
يَسْمَعُونَ
بِهَا
فَإِنَّهَا
لَا
تَعْمَى
الْأَبْصَارُ
وَلَكِن
تَعْمَى
الْقُلُوبُ
الَّتِي
فِي
الصُّدُورِ

Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts (and minds) may thus learn wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Have they not travelled through the land so that they may have hearts by which they may exercise their reason, or ears by which they may hear? Indeed, it is not the eyes that turn blind, but it is the hearts in the breasts that turn blind!
