24:40

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍۭ بِقِيعَةٍ يَحْسَبُهُ ٱلظَّمْـَٔانُ مَآءً حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَهُۥ لَمْ يَجِدْهُ شَيْـًٔا وَوَجَدَ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ فَوَفَّىٰهُ حِسَابَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And as to those who disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water until, when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing. And he finds Allah near him, Who then fully pays him his account; and Allah is swift at reckoning.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور وہ لوگ جنہوں نے کفر کیا ان کے اعمال ایسے سراب کی طرح ہیں جو چٹیل میدان میں ہو جسے سخت پیاسا پانی گمان کرے یہاں تک کہ جب وہ اس تک پہنچے اسے کچھ نہ پائے اور اللہ کو اس جگہ پائے پس وہ اسے اس کا پورا پورا حساب دے اور اللہ حساب چکانے میں تیز ہے۔

French

Et quant à ceux qui ne croient pas, leurs œuvres sont pareilles à un mirage dans un désert. L’assoiffé pense que c’est de l’eau, jusqu’à ce qu’en y arrivant, il trouve que ce n’est rien. Et là-bas il trouve Allāh, Qui lui règle son compte intégralement ; et Allāh est prompt à calculer.

German

Die aber ungläubig sind – ihre Taten sind wie eine Luftspiegelung in einer Ebene. Der Dürstende hält sie für Wasser bis er, wenn er hinzutritt, sie als Nichts findet. Doch er findet Allah nahebei, Der ihm seine Rechnung voll bezahlt; und Allah ist schnell im Abrechnen.

Chinese

那些不信的人, [a]他们的行为好像是沙漠的海市蜃楼, 干渴的人以为是水, 等他来到那个地方时, 他一无所获, 只见安拉在那里, 他就完全回报他的行为。安拉的清算是神速的。

14:19.

Italian

E quanto a coloro che non credono, le loro opere sono come un miraggio in un deserto. Chi è assetato immagina che si tratti di acqua, finché, quando vi giunge, scopre che non c'è nulla. E vi trova Allah che gli ripaga il conto. E Allah è rapido nel regolare i conti.

Spanish

En cuanto a los no creyentes, sus actos son como un espejismo en el desierto. El sediento piensa que hay agua hasta que, cuando llega a ella, encuentra que no es nada. Mas encuentra que Al‑lah está allí, quien le retribuye totalmente por sus acciones, pues Al‑lah es rápido en la retribución.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور وہ لوگ جنہوں نے کفر کیا ان کے اعمال سراب کی طرح ہیںجو ایک وسیع میدان میں نظر آتی ہے جس کو پیاسا پانی سمجھتا ہے یہاں تک کہ جب وہ اس کے پاس آجاتا ہے تو وہ اسے کچھ بھی نہیں پاتا اور اللہ کو اس کے پاس دیکھ لیتا ہے تب اللہ اسے اس کا پورا پورا حساب چکا دیتا ہے اور اللہ بہت جلد حساب چکانے والوں میں سے ہے۔
