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

the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
164 Indeed in the creation of the heavens and the earth,
and the alternation of night and day,
and the ships that sail at sea
with profit to men,
and the water that Allah sends down from the sky
— with which He revives the earth after its death,
and scatters therein every kind of animal —
and the changing of the winds,
and the clouds disposed between the sky
and the earth,
are surely signs for a people who apply reason.
165 Among the people
are those who set up compeers besides Allah,
loving them as if loving Allah
— but the faithful have a more ardent love
for Allah —
though the wrongdoers will see,
when they sight the punishment,
that power, altogether, belongs to Allah,
and that Allah is severe in punishment.
166 When those who were followed will disown
the followers,
and they will sight the punishment
while all their means of recourse will be cut off,
167 and when the followers will say,
‘Had there been another turn for us,
we would disown them
as they disown us [now]!’
Thus shall Allah show them their deeds
