And He found you deeply absorbed in the pursuit of absolute truth/reality for which reason He thereby showed/guided you to the absolute truth.Peace, Mazhar,
Is that different than what in 17 do?

It is as different as is this different from in 17

They are like cattle, no fact of the matter is that rather they are comparatively more ignorant/unmindful/indifferent

They are the people who are willfully heedlessly negligent. {refer7179]Deep thinking also cuts a man from his surroundings and the onlooker might think he is lost/absorbed in himself

Thank you, that tells a lot for on all three verses 937, 17 and 7179
Let me withdraw some translations in my previous post
Surah 93 7
"And not found you, misguided, then guided"
Surah 93 8
"And not found you, poor, then enriched"
this person referred to as "you" in the sura was an orphan, misguided, and poor.
"Lost" and "in need" (taken from http//quran.uk.net/WordByWord.aspx?chapter=93&verse=7) may be more accurate than "misguided" and "poor" (taken from "English-Literal" translation)
Please forgive me for any confusion caused by inaccurate translations above.
Peace,

Thank you, that tells a lot for on all three verses 937, 17 and 7179It is from . Erring, straying etc is the result and the cause is unmindfulness, indifference to the surroundings, non responsive, absorption in something that makes people unmindful as to what is happening around. Straying is by design and will and that is the extreme meaning/eventuality of the Root .

Yes, Daad Lam Lam, i noticed the tashdid hence my question above. OK, so the nuance may not be 'catched' accurately by either 'lost' or 'misguided' but 'lost' seems more fitting than the two. IMO.

I just realized that this morning. Hope they will provide Lane reference.
Peace.

But it may be noted that the word is "Active participle". He is doing an act or seeking and what he is doing/seeking has been responded as mentioned at the end of verse, relating to the act done.

So what do you suggest for a translation that's as short as possible but still retain the nuance adequately?
"Pursuing", "Seeking", "Searching"?
or if not in a single word, what about
"Pursuing/Seeking/Searching until lost"?
Peace,
