وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا۟ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۖ وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ان لوگوں نے ‘ جنہوں نے ایک دن پہلے تک اس کے مقام (کو حاصل کرنے) کی تمنّا کی تھی‘ اس حالت میں صبح کی کہ وہ کہہ رہے تھے وائے حسرت! اللہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کےلئے چاہے رزق کشادہ کر دیتا ہے اور (جس کےلئے چاہے) تنگ بھی کر دیتا ہے۔ اگر ہم پر اللہ نے احسان نہ کیا ہوتا تو وہ ہمیں بھی دھنسا دیتا۔ وائے حسرت! کافر کامیاب نہیں ہوا کرتے۔

French

Et ceux qui la veille avaient convoité son rang, se mirent à dire : « Ah ! C’est assurément Allāh Qui accroît la provision pour qui Il veut d'entre Ses serviteurs, et Qui la réduit pour qui Il veut . Si Allāh n’avait pas été gracieux envers nous, certainement Il nous aurait fait engloutir aussi. Ah ! Les ingrats ne prospèrent jamais ! »

German

Und jene, die noch tags zuvor sich an seine Stelle gewünscht hatten, sprachen: "Ah sieh! es ist fürwahr Allah, Der die Mittel zum Unterhalt weitet und beschränkt, wem Er will unter Seinen Dienern. Wäre uns Allah nicht gnädig gewesen, Er hätte (die Erde) uns verschlingen lassen. Ah sieh! die Undankbaren haben nie Erfolg."

Chinese

昨天还垂涎库伦境遇的人, 而现在却说: “你们有祸了! [a]安拉随他的意愿使他的某些仆人生活宽裕, 也 (随他的意愿) 令 (他的某些仆人) 用度拮据。如果安拉不对我们施行仁慈, 那么, 他一定使我们也陷入地下。你们有祸了! 实际上, 不信的人是不会成功的。”

13:27; 29:63; 34:37.

Italian

E quelli che il giorno prima avevano desiderato la sua condizione, incominciarono a dire: «Ah! È Allah, veramente, Colui che fa ampliare la provvista per chi Egli vuole tra i Suoi servi, e li limita per chi Egli vuole. Se Allah non fosse stato misericordioso con noi, avrebbe fatto inghiottire pure noi. Ah, gli ingrati non prospereranno mai!»

Spanish

Y quienes codiciaron su posición el día anterior comenzaron a decir: “¡Ah! en verdad es Al‑lah quien amplía la provisión para quellos de Sus siervos que Le place y la estrecha para quien Él quiere. De no haber sido Al‑lah Clemente con osotros, habría hecho que la tierra nos tragara también. ¡Ah! los ingratos nunca prosperan”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور وہ لوگ جو کل تک اس کے مقام پر ہونے کی تمنا کرتے تھے کہنے لگ گئے تجھ پر ہلاکت ہو۔ اللہ ہی یقیناً اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کے لئے چاہتا ہے رزق میں فراخی دیتا ہے اور جس کے لئے چاہتا ہے تنگی کرتا ہے اگر ہم پر اللہ نے احسان نہ کیا ہوتا تو ہمیں بھی مصیبتوں کا شکار کر دیتا۔ تجھ پر ہلاکت ہو (بات یہی ہے کہ) کافر کبھی کامیاب نہیں ہوتے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اب وہی لوگ جو کل اس کی منزلت کی تمنا کر رہے تھے کہنے لگے "افسوس، ہم بھول گئے تھے کہ اللہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کا رزق چاہتا ہے کشادہ کرتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے نَپا تلا دیتا ہے اگر اللہ نے ہم پر احسان نہ کیا ہوتا تو ہمیں بھی زمین میں دَھنسا دیتا افسوس ہم کو یاد نہ رہا کہ کافر فلاح نہیں پایا کرتے"

English - Sahih

And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور وہ لوگ جو کل اس کے مرتبہ کی تمنا کرتے تھے آج صبح کو کہنے لگے کہ ہائے شامت! الله اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کے لیے چاہتا ہے روزی کشادہ کر دیتا ہے اور تنگ کر دیتا ہے اگر ہم پر الله کا احسان نہ ہوتا تو ہمیں بھی دھنسا دیتا ہائے! کافر نجات نہیں پا سکتے

English - Talal Itani
