And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.

தங்களுடைய வாழ்க்கை வசதிகளின் செருக்கினால் (அழிச்சாட்டியம் செய்து கொண்டிருந்த) எத்தனையோ ஊ(ரா)ர்களை நாம் அழித்திருக்கிறோம்; இவை யாவும் அவர்கள் வாழ்ந்த இடங்களேயாகும்; அவர்களுக்குப் பின் சொற்பமான நேரம் தவிர அங்கு எவரும் வசிக்க வில்லை மேலும் நாமே (அவர்களுக்கு) வாரிசுகளாக்கினோம்.

තවද තම ජීවන පහසුකම් සැපවත් කරගත් ගම්මාන කොපමණක් අපි විනාශ කළෙමු ද? ඔවුන්ගෙන් පසු ඔවුන්ගේ එම වාසස්ථානවල ස්වල්ප දෙනෙකු මිස පදිංචි කරවනු නො ලැබී ය. තවද අපි උරුමක්කරුවන් වූයෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور ہم نے بہت سی وه بستیاں تباه کر دیں جو اپنی عیش و عشرت میں اترانے لگی تھیں، یہ ہیں ان کی رہائش کی جگہیں جو ان کے بعد بہت ہی کم آباد کی گئیں اور ہم ہی ہیں آخر سب کچھ کے وارث.

われは如何に多くの(安楽で裕福な)生活に有頂天になった町を,滅ぼしたことであろうか。それ以来,かれらの居所には,(至極)僅かな人びとを除き住む者もない。(結局)われが,それらの相続者である。
ChineseMa Jian
我曾毁灭许多城市,那些城市里的居民,过一种骄奢的生活。这些是他们的居住地,从他们灭亡之后,除很少的时间外,无人居住;我是他们的继承。

Tafsir of 28:58

The Destruction of Towns, which are not destroyed until Evidence is established against Them Referring to the people of Makkah, Allah says: وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعِيشَتَهَا (And how many a town have We destroyed, which was thankless for its means of livelihood!) They were arrogant transgressors who denied Allah's blessing of giving them ample provision. This is like the Ayah, o وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ (And Allah puts forward the example of a township, that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming to it in abundance from every place) until: فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَلِمُونَ (So the torment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.) (16:112-113) Allah said: فَتِلْكَ مَسَكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَن مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً (And those are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them except a little.) Their land became empty and desolate, and you can see nothing but their dwellings. وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوَرِثِينَ (And verily, We have been the heirs.) Their towns became ruins, with none remaining.…
