But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? Is it they who will overcome?

எனினும், இவர்களையும் இவர்களுடைய மூதாதையரையும், அவர்களுடைய ஆயுட் காலம் வளர்ந்தோங்கும் வரை சுகங்களை அனுபவிக்கச் செய்தோம். நாம் (இவர்களிடமுள்ள) பூமியை அதன் அருகுகளிலிருந்து குறைத்து கொண்டு வருகிறோம் என்பதை இவர்கள் காணவில்லையா? இவர்களா மிகைத்து வெற்றிக் கொள்பவர்கள்?

بلکہ ہم نے انہیں اور ان کے باپ دادوں کو زندگی کے سروسامان دیے یہاں تک کہ ان کی مدت عمر گزر گئی۔ کیا وه نہیں دیکھتے کہ ہم زمین کو اس کے کناروں سے گھٹاتے چلے آرہے ہیں، اب کیا وہی غالب ہیں؟
