And never turn shine eyes [with longing] towards whatever splendour of this world's life We may have allowed so many others¹¹⁵ to enjoy in order that We might test them thereby: for the sustenance which by sustainer provides [for thee] is better more enduring.¹¹⁶

- Mohammad Asad

Do not strain your eyes with envy regarding the worldly benefits We have bestowed on some among them, for with these We seek to test them, the lawful provision of your Rabb is better and more lasting.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Do not let your eyes crave what We have allowed some of the disbelievers to enjoy; the 'fleeting' splendour of this worldly life, which We test them with. But your Lord's provision 'in the Hereafter' is far better and more lasting.

- Mustafa Khattab

And strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoy, the flower of the life of the world, that We may try them thereby. The provision of thy Lord is better and more lasting.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them the splendor of the life of this world through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring. ²⁶⁵⁶

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
