وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ

Not equal are the blind and the seeing,

وَلَا ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتُ وَلَا ٱلنُّورُ

Nor are the darknesses and the light,

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَحْيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلْأَمْوَٰتُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves.

إِنْ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ

You, [O Muhammad], are not but a warner.
