Sarwar: Do you want to see him?' "
Shakir: He shall say: Will you look on?

Qarib: 'By Allah, ' he will say, 'you almost destroyed me!
Sarwar: He will say to his friend in hell, "By God, you almost destroyed me.
Shakir: He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;
Pickthall: He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,

Qarib: except our first death, and shall we not be punished? '
Sarwar: and that we would not be punished?"
Shakir: Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
Pickthall: Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
Yusufali: "Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"

Qarib: Indeed, this is the mighty victory,

Shakir: Most surely this is the mighty achievement
Pickthall: Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
Yusufali: Verily this is the supreme achievement!

Qarib: We have made this (tree) a trial for the evildoers.
Sarwar: which We have made as a torment for the unjust?
Shakir: Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust
Pickthall: Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
Yusufali: For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.
