Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Do not ever think of those who rejoice
for their deeds and wish to be praised without doing (good deeds)
- do not ever think that they are safe from the punishment; and for them
is a painful punishment.
Yusuf Ali:
Think not that those who exult in what they have brought about, and love to be praised for what they have not done,- think escape the penalty. For them is a penalty Grievous indeed.
Pickthal:
Think not that those who exult in what they have given, and love to be praised for what they have not done - Think not, they are in safety from the doom. A painful doom is theirs.
