ولقد مكناهم فيما ان مكناكم فيه وجعلنا لهم سمعا وابصارا وافئدة فما اغنى عنهم سمعهم ولا ابصارهم ولا افئدتهم من شيء اذ كانوا يجحدون بايات الله وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون

And We had firmly established Them in a (prosperity and) power Which We have not given To you (ye Quraish!) And We had endowed them With (faculties of) Hearing, seeing, heart and intellect But of no profit to them Were their (faculties of) Hearing, sight, and heart And intellect, when they Went on rejecting the Signs Of God; and they were (Completely) encircled By that which they Used to mock at!
