7:198

وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ

wa-in tadʿūhum ilā l-hudā lā yasmaʿū watarāhum yanẓurūna ilayka wahum lā yub'ṣirūna

And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.

— Saheeh International

If you [believers] call such people to guidance, they do not hear. You [Prophet] may observe them looking at you, but they can-not see.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And if you call them to guidance, they hear not and you will see them looking at you, yet they see not.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
