Yusuf Ali
Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejecters of Faith!
Sahih International
Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers.
Shakir
Or like abundant rain from the cloud in which is utter darkness and thunder and lightning; they put their fingers into their ears because of the thunder peal, for fear of death, and Allah encompasses the unbelievers.
Pickthall
Or like a rainstorm from the sky, wherein is darkness, thunder and the flash of lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears by reason of the thunder-claps, for fear of death, Allah encompasseth the disbelievers (in His guidance, His omniscience and His omnipotence).
محمد جالندھری
یا ان کی مثال مینہ کی سی ہے کہ آسمان سے (برس رہا ہو اور) اس میں اندھیرے پر اندھیرا (چھا رہا) ہو اور (بادل) گرج (رہا) ہو اور بجلی (کوند رہی) ہو تو یہ کڑک سے (ڈر کر) موت کے خوف سے کانوں میں انگلیاں دے لیں اور الله کافروں کو (ہر طرف سے) گھیرے ہوئے ہے
