| أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم كانوا أكثر منهم وأشد قوة وآثارا في الأرض فما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ |

Tahir ul Qadri | سو کیا انہوں نے زمین میں سیر و سیاحت نہیں کی کہ وہ دیکھتے کہ اُن لوگوں کا انجام کیسا ہوا جو اُن سے پہلے گزر گئے، وہ اِن لوگوں سے (تعداد میں بھی) بہت زیادہ تھے اور طاقت میں (بھی) سخت تر تھے اور نشانات کے لحاظ سے (بھی) جو (وہ) زمین میں چھوڑ گئے ہیں (کہیں بڑھ کر تھے) مگر جو کچھ وہ کمایا کرتے تھے اُن کے کسی کام نہ آیا |
Yousuf Ali | Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them.

Mehmood Al Hassan | کیا پھرے نہیں وہ ملک میں کہ دیکھ لیتے کیسا انجام ہوا ان سے پہلوں کا وہ تھے ان سے زیادہ اور زور میں سخت اور نشانیوں میں جو چھوڑ گئے ہیں زمین پر پھر کام نہ آیا اُن کے جو وہ کماتے تھے |
Abul Ala Maududi | پھر کیا یہ زمین میں چلے پھرے نہیں ہیں کہ اِن کو اُن لوگوں کا انجام نظر آتا جو اِن سے پہلے گزر چکے ہیں؟ وہ اِن سے تعداد میں زیادہ تھے، اِن سے بڑھ کر طاقتور تھے، اور زمین میں اِن سے زیادہ شاندار آثار چھوڑ گئے ہیں جو کچھ کمائی اُنہوں نے کی تھی، آخر وہ اُن کے کس کام آئی؟ |
