Lahu daAAwatu alhaqqi waallatheenayadAAoona min doonihi la yastajeeboona lahum bishay-in illakabasiti kaffayhi ila alma-iliyablugha fahu wama huwa bibalighihi wamaduAAao alkafireena illa fee dalalin له دعوة الحق والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء إلا كباسط كفيه إلى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه وما دعاء الكافرين إلا في ضلال
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لاَ يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلاَّ كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلاَّ فِي ضَلاَلٍ
 Words|له - To Him| دعوة - (is) supplication| الحق - (of) the truth.| والذين - And those whom| يدعون - they invoke| من - besides Him| دونه - besides Him| لا - not| يستجيبون - they respond| لهم - to them| بشيء - with a thing| إلا - except| كباسط - like one who stretches| كفيه - his hands| إلى - towards| الماء - water| ليبلغ - to reach| فاه - his mouth,| وما - but not| هو - it| ببالغه - reaches it.| وما - And not| دعاء - (is) the supplication| الكافرين - (of) the disbelievers| إلا - but| في - in| ضلال - error.|

ለእርሱ (ለአላህ) የእውነት መጥሪያ አለው፡፡ እነዚያም ከእርሱ ሌላ የሚገዙዋቸው (ጣዖታት) ወደ አፉ ይደርስ ዘንድ ወደ ውሃ መዳፎቹን (በሩቅ ሆኖ) እንደሚዘረጋ (ሰው መልስ) እንጂ ለነርሱ በምንም አይመልሱላቸውም፡፡ እርሱም ወደ አፉ ደራሽ አይደለም፡፡ የከሓዲዎችም ጥሪ በከንቱ እንጂ አይደለም፡፡
آل الجلالين{ له } تعالى { دعوة الحق } أي كلمته وهي لا إله إلا الله { والذين يدعون } بالياء والتاء يعبدون { من دونه } أي غيره وهم الأصنام { لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء } مما يطلبونه { إلا } استجابة { كباسط } أي كاستجابة باسط { كفيه إلى الماء } على شفير البئر يدعوه { ليبلغ فاه } بارتفاعه من البئر إليه { وما هو ببالغه } أي فاه أبدا فكذلك ما هم بمستجيبين لهم { وما دعاء الكافرين } عبادتهم الأصنام أو حقيقة الدعاء { إلا في ضلال } ضياع .

মুহিউদ্দীন খানসত্যের আহবান একমাত্র তাঁরই এবং তাকে ছাড়া যাদেরকে ডাকে, তারা তাদের কোন কাজে আসে না; ওদের দৃষ্টান্ত সেরূপ, যেমন কেউ দু’ হাত পানির দিকে প্রসারিত করে যাতে পানি তার মুখে পৌঁছে যায়। অথচ পানি কোন সময় পৌঁছাবে না। কাফেরদের যত আহবান তার সবই পথভ্রষ্টতা।
LiteralFor Him (is) the truth's call/request/prayer, and those who call from (to) other than Him, they do not answer/reply to them from a thing, except as (who) spreads/extends his two palms to the water to reach his mouth, and he is not with reaching it, and the disbeliever's call/prayer is not except in misguidance.
Yusuf AliFor Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).
PickthalUnto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray.
Arberry To Him is the call of truth; and those upon whom they call, apart from Him, answer them nothing, but it is as a man who stretches out his hands to water that it may reach his mouth, and it reaches it not. The prayer of the unbelievers goes only astray.
ShakirTo Him is due the true prayer; and those whom they pray to besides Allah give them no answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it; and the prayer of the unbelievers is only in error.
SarwarPrayer to Him is the true prayer. Those to whom they pray instead of God will answer none of their prayers. It is as though one stretches his hands out to the water that can never reach his mouth. The prayers of the unbelievers will get nowhere.
H/K/SaheehTo Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].
MalikPraying to Him Alone is the right thing. The other deities they pray to, besides Him, cannot answer their prayers. They are like a man who stretches forth his hands to the water and asks it to reach his mouth. It cannot reach his mouth this way; likewise the prayer of the unbelievers is nothing but a fruitless effort.[14]
Maulana Ali**To Him is due the true prayer. And those to whom they pray besides Him give them no answer, but (they are) like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that I may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it. And the prayer of the disbelievers is only wasted.
Free MindsTo Him is the call of truth. And those who are called on besides Him, they will not respond to them in anything; like one who places his hands openly in the water to drink, but it never reaches his mouth. The call of the rejecters is nothing but in misguidance.
Qaribullah To Him is the Call of truth. Those to whom they call, other than Him, give them no answer. They are like he who stretches out his hands to the water and bids it rise to his mouth, it does not reach it! The prayers of the unbelievers goes astray.
George SaleIt is He who ought of right to be invoked; and the idols which they invoke besides Him, shall not hear them at all; otherwise than as he is heard, who stretcheth forth his hands to the water that it may ascend to his mouth, when it cannot ascend thither: The supplication of the unbelievers is utterly erroneous.
JM RodwellAnd the THUNDER uttereth his praise, and the Angels also, for awe of Him: and he sendeth his bolts and smiteth with them whom he will while they are wrangling about God! Mighty is he in prowess.
AsadUnto Him [alone] is due all prayer aiming at the Ultimate Truth,'
Khalifa**Imploring Him is the only legitimate supplication, while the idols they implore beside Him cannot ever respond. Thus, they are like those who stretch their hands to the water, but nothing reaches their mouths. The supplications of the disbelievers are in vain.
Hilali/Khan**For Him (Alone) is the Word of Truth (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but He). And those whom they (polytheists and disbelievers) invoke, answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand (at the edge of a deep well) for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches him not, and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but an error (i.e. of no use).
QXP Shabbir Ahemd**Calling upon, and working in line with His Laws yield solid results. Those unto whom they call besides Allah, respond to them not at all. Thus they are like those who stretch their hands to the water which is not there. So nothing reaches their mouths. Hence, the prayer of the deniers of the Divine Laws is but vain prayer (4:123).
Hänelle osoitettakoon totinen rukous; ja ne, joita he huutavat avukseen Jumalan sijasta, eivät kykene heille vastaamaan millään tavoin, vaan heidän laitansa on kuten sen, joka ojentaa molemmat kätensä vettä kohti, jotta se tulisi hänen suuhunsa, mutta se ei tule. Uskottomien avunhuuto on pelkkää harhaa.
Rk Iyan so katharo a bnar: Na so siran a pphanongganowin iran a salakaw ko Allah na da a khismbag iran kiran a mayto bo, inonta na lagid o ikakawa iyan so dowa palad a lima niyan ko ig, ka an makasampay ko ngari iyan na di ron phakasampay skaniyan: Ka da ko pangni o da pamaratiyaya inonta na matatago sa ilang.
Ahmed Raza Khanاسی کا پکارنا سچا ہے اور اُس کے سوا جن کو پکارتے ہیں وہ ان کی کچھ بھی نہیں سنتے مگر اس کی طرح جو پانی کے سامنے اپنی ہتھیلیاں پھیلائے بیٹھا ہے کہ اس کے منہ میں پہنچ جائے اور وہ ہرگز نہ پہنچے گا، اور کافروں کی ہر دعا بھٹکتی پھرتی ہے،
Shabbir Ahmed اسی کو پُکارنا برحق ہے اور وہ جن کو پکارتے ہیں یہ لوگ اللہ کے سوا وہ جواب نہیں دے سکتے ان کو کسی بات کا (اُنہیں پُکارنا تو) ایسا ہے جیسے کوئی شخص پھیلائے اپنے دونوں ہاتھ پانی کی طرف تاکہ ا ٓپہنچے وہ اس کے منہ میں اور نہیں ہے وہ پہنچنے والا اس تک۔ اور نہیں ہے پکارنا کافروں کا مگر بے کار۔
Fateh Muhammad Jalandharyسودمند پکارنا تو اسی کا ہے اور جن کو یہ لوگ اس کے سوا پکارتے ہیں وہ ان کی پکار کو کسی طرح قبول نہیں کرتے مگر اس شخص کی طرح جو اپنے دونوں ہاتھ پانی کی طرف پھیلا دے تاکہ (دور ہی سے) اس کے منہ تک آ پہنچے حالانکہ وہ (اس تک کبھی بھی) نہیں آسکتا اور (اسی طرح) کافروں کی پکار بیکار ہے
Mehmood Al Hassanاسی کا پکارنا سچ ہے اور جن لوگوں کو کہ پکارتے ہیں اس کے سوا وہ نہیں کام آتے ان کے کچھ بھی مگر جیسے کسی نے پھیلائے دونوں ہاتھ پانی کی طرف کہ آ پہنچے اسکے منہ تک اور وہ کبھی نہ پہنچے گا اس تک اور جتنی پکار ہے کافروں کی سب گمراہی ہے
Abul Ala Maududiاسی کو پکارنا برحق ہے رہیں وہ دوسری ہستیاں جنہیں اس کو چھوڑ کر یہ لوگ پکارتے ہیں، وہ اُن کی دعاؤں کا کوئی جواب نہیں دے سکتیں اُنہیں پکارنا تو ایسا ہے جیسے کوئی شخص پانی کی طرف ہاتھ پھیلا کر اُس سے درخواست کرے کہ تو میرے منہ تک پہنچ جا، حالانکہ پانی اُس تک پہنچنے والا نہیں بس اِسی طرح کافروں کی دعائیں بھی کچھ نہیں ہیں مگر ایک تیر بے ہدف!
Ahmed Aliاسی کو پکارنا بجا ہے اوراس کے سوا جن لوگوں کو پکارتے ہیں وہ ان کے کچھ بھی کام نہیں آتے مگر جیسا کوئی پانی کی طرف اپنے دونوں ہاتھ پھیلائے کہ اس کے منہ میں آجائے حالانکہ وہ اس کے منہ تک نہیں پہنچتا اور کافروں کی جتنی پکار ہے سب گمراہی ہے
