Qarib: It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hell;
Sarwar: (Zaqqum) is a tree which grows from the deepest part of hell,
Shakir: Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell;
Pickthall: Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
Yusufali: For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:

Qarib: its spathes are like the heads of satans
Sarwar: and its fruits are like the heads of devils.
Shakir: Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents
Pickthall: Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
Yusufali: The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils:

Qarib: on it they shall feed, and with it they shall fill their bellies.
Sarwar: The dwellers of hell will eat that fruit and fill-up their bellies.
Shakir: Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it
Pickthall: And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
Yusufali: Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

Qarib: On top of it they shall have a brew of boiling water,
Sarwar: Then they will have on top of it a mixture of boiling water.
Shakir: Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water
Pickthall: And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
Yusufali: Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.

Qarib: then their return is to Hell.
Sarwar: They can only return to hell.
Shakir: Then most surely their return shall be to hell
Pickthall: And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
Yusufali: Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.

Qarib: They found their fathers in error,
Sarwar: They found their father going astray
Shakir: Surely they found their fathers going astray,
Pickthall: They indeed found their fathers astray,
Yusufali: Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;

Qarib: yet they run in their footsteps,
Sarwar: and rushed to follow them.
Shakir: So in their footsteps they are being hastened on
Pickthall: But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
Yusufali: So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!

Qarib: yet before them most of the ancients went astray,
Sarwar: Most of the ancient people had also gone astray.
Shakir: And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
Pickthall: And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
Yusufali: And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-

Qarib: though We had sent among them warners.
Sarwar: We had certainly sent warners to them.
Shakir: And certainly We sent among them warners
Pickthall: And verily We sent among them warners.
Yusufali: But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them;-

Qarib: See then the end of those who were warned,
Sarwar: See how terrible was the end of those who were warned.
Shakir: Then see how was the end of those warned,
Pickthall: Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
Yusufali: Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),-
