And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away [from Him]. And ever is man ungrateful.

இன்னும், கடலில் உங்களை ஏதேனும் தங்கடம் (துன்பம்) தீண்டினால், அவனையன்றி நீங்கள் (தெய்வங்கள் என) எவற்றை அழைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தீர்களோ, அவையாவும் மறைந்து விடும்; எனினும் (அல்லாஹ்) உங்களை ஈடேற்றிக் கரையளவில் கொண்டு வந்து சேர்க்கும் பொழுது நீங்கள் (அவனைப்) புறக்கணித்து விடுகிறீர்கள் - இன்னும், மனிதன் மகா நன்றி மறப்பவனாகவே இருக்கின்றான்.

තවද නුඹලාට මුහුදෙහි පීඩාවක් ඇති වූ කල්හි ඔහු හැර නුඹලා ඇරයුම් කරන අය මුවා වී යනු ඇත. ඔහු නුඹලාව මුදවා ගොඩබිම වෙත ගෙන ආ විට නුඹලා පිටුපාන්නෙහු ය. තවද මිනිසා මහා ගුණමකුවකු විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور سمندروں میں مصیبت پہنچتے ہی جنہیں تم پکارتے تھے سب گم ہوجاتے ہیں صرف وہی اللہ باقی ره جاتا ہے۔ پھر جب وه تمہیں خشکی کی طرف بچا ﻻتا ہے تو تم منھ پھیر لیتے ہو اور انسان بڑا ہی ناشکرا ہے.

あなたがたが海上で災難にあうと,かれ以外にあなたがたが祈るものは見捨てる。だがかれが陸に救って下さると,あなたがたは背き去る。人間はいつも恩を忘れる。
ChineseMa Jian
当你们在海上遭受灾害的时候,你们向来听祈祷的已回避你们了,而你们只有祈祷主了。当主使你们平安登陆的时候,你们背叛了主。人原是孤恩的。

Tafsir of 17:67

When Harm befalls Them, the Disbelievers do not remember anyone except Allah Allah tells us that when harm befalls people, they call on Him, turning to Him and sincerely beseeching Him. Hence Allah says: وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الْضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلاَ إِيَّاهُ (And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon vanish from you except Him.) meaning, everything they worship besides Allah disappears from their hearts and minds. Similar happened to `Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl when he fled from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after the conquest of Makkah, and headed for Ethiopia. He set out across the sea to go to Ethiopia, but a stormy wind arose. The people said to one another: "None can save you except Allah Alone." `Ikrimah said to himself, "By Allah if none can benefit on the sea except Allah then no doubt none can benefit on land except Allah. `O Allah! I promise You that if You bring me safely out of this, I will go and put my hand in the hand of Muhammad and surely, I will find him full of pity, kindness and mercy."' They came out of it safely and were delivered from the sea.…
