ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ
Thumma irjiAAi alba s ara karratayni yanqalib ilayka alba s aru kh a sian wahuwa h aseer un
Yea, turn thy vision [upon it] again and yet again: [and every time] thy vision will fall back upon thee, dazzled and truly defeated....3
  - Mohammad Asad

Sc., in its endeavour to encompass the mysteries of the universe.

Then look still another time, yet again your sight will come back bewildered, and feel exhausted.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Then look again and again- your sight will return frustrated and weary.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Again turn thy vision a second time; (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited in a state worn out. 5560
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Reverting to the indication of the external or visible world, we are asked to observe and study it again and again, and as minutely as our powers will allow. However closely we observe it, we shall find no flaw in it. Indeed the region of enquiry is so vast and stretches so far beyond our ken, that our eyes, aided with the most powerful telescopes, will confess themselves defeated in trying to penetrate to the ultimate mysteries. We shall find no defect in Allah's handiwork: it is our own powers that we shall find fail to go beyond a certain compass.
