Aya 48
48
وَعِندَهُم قاصِراتُ الطَّرفِ عينٌ

Yusuf Ali

And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes1 (of wonder and beauty).
  • In the emblem used here, again, the pure type of chaste womanhood is figured. They are chaste, not bold with their glances: but their eyes are big with wonder and beauty, prefiguring grace, innocence, and a refined capacity of appreciation and admiration.
