أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَٰكِنِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Does it not afford guidance to them how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they now walk? Therein verily are Signs for those who are endued with reason.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
پس کیا یہ بات ان کی ہدایت کا موجب نہیں بنی کہ ان سے پہلے کتنے ہی زمانوں کے لوگوں کو ہم نے ہلاک کر دیا جن کے مساکن میں وہ چلتے پھرتے ہیں۔ یقیناً اس میں صاحبِ عقل لوگوں کے لئے نشانات ہیں۔

Cela ne leur a pas servi de direction de voir combien de générations Nous avons détruites avant eux, dans les habitations desquelles ils marchent maintenant ? En vérité, il y a là des Signes pour ceux qui sont doués de raison.

Commentary:
The verse embodies a perpetual warning for the deniers of Divine Messengers that they will ultimately come to grief. It is an invariable and immutable divine law that rejection of Divine teaching lands the rejecters in utter ruin and destruction.

سو کیا انہیں اس بات سے بھی سمجھ نہیں آئی کہ ہم نے ان سے پہلے کئی جماعتیں ہلاک کر دی ہیں یہ لوگ ان کی جگہوں پر پھرتے ہیں بیشک اس میں عقل والوں کے لیے نشانیاں ہیں
English - Talal Itani
Then has not it guided [for] them how many We (have) destroyed before them, of the generations, (as) they walk in their dwellings? Indeed, in that surely (are) Signs for possessors (of) intelligence.
