| Mohammad Habib Shakir And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say: Ah!

| Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay!

Had Allah not been Bounteous to us, He would indeed have caved us in. Ah, actually the disbelievers do not prosper |
| Muhammad Sarwar The people who the other day had wished to be like him, began saying, "Woe to us! God gives abundant wealth only to those of His servants whom He wants and He determines everyone's share. Had it not been for God's favor to us, He would have caused the earth to swallow us up. Woe to the unbelievers who will have no happiness |
| Muhammad Taqi Usmani And those who wished to be in his position the day before, started saying, .Oh, it seems that Allah extends provision to whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills).
