From a fully vowelled text

وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةً فَجَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ يَكُونُ مُظْلِمًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاَمًا فَالظَّلاَمُ كَمْ يَكُونُ!But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!Matthew 6:23, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَإِنْ كَانَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ نَيِّرًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ جُزْءٌ مُظْلِمٌ، يَكُونُ نَيِّرًا كُلُّهُ، كَمَا حِينَمَا يُضِيءُ لَكَ السِّرَاجُ بِلَمَعَانِهِ».If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.Luke 11:36, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
سِرَاجُ الْجَسَدِ هُوَ الْعَيْنُ، فَمَتَى كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ بَسِيطَةً فَجَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ يَكُونُ نَيِّرًا، وَمَتَى كَانَتْ شِرِّيرَةً فَجَسَدُكَ يَكُونُ مُظْلِمًا.The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.Luke 11:34, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
