Greetings,
Here we have an interesting use of گرفتن after a past participle:

In this sentence, Bilquis is commenting on the way in which she turned a deaf ear to the voice of God.
Best wishes, and many thanks,

to turn a deaf ear to
You already answered your question! This idiom, in my opinion, very well fits the situation.
گرفتن here doesn't have any special meaning, and it forms an expression with نشنیده. A more formal form of this expression is نشنیده انگاشتن.
اِعراض از آیات الهی و نشنیده انگاشتن آن و غفلت از گناهان گذشته خویش، ستم، و موجب سقوط و نابودی امّت ها است

However, we can say گرفتن here means فرض کردن (to presume, to consider)
