Yusuf Ali
And those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the morrow: "Ah! it is indeed Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it, to any of His servants He pleases! had it not been that Allah was gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up! Ah! those who reject Allah will assuredly never prosper."

Sahih International
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!"

Shakir
And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say: Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants; had not Allah been gracious to us, He would most surely have abased us; ah! (know) that the ungrateful are never successful.

Pickthall
And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.

محمد جالندھری
اور وہ لوگ جو کل اُس کے رتبے کی تمنا کرتے تھے صبح کو کہنے لگے ہائے شامت! خدا ہی تو اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کے لئے چاہتا ہے رزق فراخ کر دیتا ہے اور (جس کے لئے چاہتا ہے) تنگ کر دیتا ہے۔ اگر خدا ہم پر احسان نہ کرتا تو ہمیں بھی دھنسا دیتا۔ ہائے خرابی! کافر نجات نہیں پا سکتے
