Yusuf Ali
O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).
Sahih International
O People, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed - that We may show you. And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.
Shakir
O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you; and We cause what We please to stay in the wombs till an appointed time, then We bring you forth as babies, then that you may attain your maturity; and of you is he who is caused to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything; and you see the earth sterile land, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells and brings forth of every kind a beautiful herbage.
Pickthall
O mankind! if ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then (give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dieth (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knoweth naught. And thou (Muhammad) seest the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it doth thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of growth).
محمد جالندھری
لوگو اگر تم کو مرنے کے بعد جی اُٹھنے میں کچھ شک ہو تو ہم نے تم کو (پہلی بار بھی تو) پیدا کیا تھا (یعنی ابتدا میں) مٹی سے پھر اس سے نطفہ بنا کر۔ پھر اس سے خون کا لوتھڑا بنا کر۔ پھر اس سے بوٹی بنا کر جس کی بناوٹ کامل بھی ہوتی ہے اور ناقص بھی تاکہ تم پر (اپنی خالقیت) ظاہر کردیں۔ اور ہم جس کو چاہتے ہیں ایک میعاد مقرر تک پیٹ میں ٹھہرائے رکھتے ہیں پھر تم کو بچہ بنا کر نکالتے ہیں۔ پھر تم جوانی کو پہنچتے ہو۔ اور بعض (قبل از پیری مرجاتے ہیں اور بعض شیخ فالی ہوجاتے اور بڑھاپے کی) نہایت خراب عمر کی طرف لوٹائے جاتے ہیں کہ بہت کچھ جاننے کے بعد بالکل بےعلم ہوجاتے ہیں۔ اور (اے دیکھنے والے) تو دیکھتا ہے (کہ ایک وقت میں) زمین خشک (پڑی ہوتی ہے) پھر جب ہم اس پر مینہ برساتے ہیں تو شاداب ہوجاتی اور ابھرنے لگتی ہے اور طرح طرح کی بارونق چیزیں اُگاتی ہے
