Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

So they lie fallen on their trellises,
their wells neglected
and their lofty palaces [desolate]!
46 Have they not traveled over the land
so that they may have hearts
by which they may apply reason,
or ears by which they may hear?
Indeed it is not the eyes that turn blind,
but the hearts turn blind
— those that are in the breasts!
47 They ask you to hasten the punishment,
though Allah shall never break His promise.
Indeed a day with your Lord
is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
48 To how many a town did I give respite
while it was wrongdoing!
Then I seized it,
and toward Me is the destination.

49 Say, ‘O mankind!
I am only a manifest warner to you!’
50 As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds,
for them is forgiveness and a noble provision.
51 But as for those who contend with Our signs,
seeking to thwart [their purpose],
they shall be the inmates of hell.
52 We did not send before you
any apostle or prophet
but that when he recited [the scripture]
Satan interjected [something] in his recitation.
