- And when some hurt toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning unto Him (repentant). Then, when He granteth him a boon from Him he forgetteth that for which he cried unto Him before, and setteth up rivals to Allah that he may beguile (men) from his way. Say (O Muhammad, unto such an one): Take pleasure in thy disbelief a while. Lo! thou art of the owners of the Fire.
- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
- When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"

- Dan apabila manusia itu ditimpa kemudharatan, dia memohon (pertolongan) kepada Tuhannya dengan kembali kepada-Nya; kemudian apabila Tuhan memberikan nikmat-Nya kepadanya lupalah dia akan kemudharatan yang pernah dia berdoa (kepada Allah) untuk (menghilangkannya) sebelum itu, dan dia mengada-adakan sekutu-sekutu bagi Allah untuk menyesatkan (manusia) dari jalan-Nya. Katakanlah: "Bersenang-senanglah dengan kekafiranmu itu sementara waktu; sesungguhnya kamu termasuk penghuni neraka".
