وَأَصْبَحَ And began wa-aṣbaḥa those who alladhīna (had) wished tamannaw his position makānahu the day before bil-amsi (to) say yaqūlūna Ah! That wayka-anna Allah l-laha extends yabsuṭu the provision l-riz'qa for whom liman He wills yashāu of min His slaves ʿibādihi and restricts it wayaqdiru If not lawlā that an Allah had favored manna Allah had favored l-lahu [to] us ʿalaynā He would have caused it to swallow us lakhasafa He would have caused it to swallow us binā Ah! That wayka-annahu not lā will succeed yuf'liḥu the disbelievers l-kāfirūna
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allāh extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allāh had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
