أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُۥ طَلَبًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

“Or its water will become sunk in the earth so that thou wilt not be able to find it.”

English - Five Volume Translation

Or its water will become sunk in the ground so that thou wilt not be able to find it.”[2082]

Commentary:

The words, Or its water will become sunk in the ground, mean that the springs of their great talents and intellectual attainments on which their material progress mainly depended or which, in the words of the Quran, kept their garden fresh and green, will become dried up, resulting in the complete desolation of their garden.

English - Short Commentary Translation

‘Or its water will dry up[1694] so that thou wilt not be able to find it.’

The springs of their great talents and intellectual attainments on which their material progress mainly depends or which, in the words of the Qur’an, keep their garden fresh and green, will dry up, resulting in the complete desolation of their "garden." Their springs of spiritual freshness will also dry up.
