6:77 falam-maa ra-al qamara baazigan qaala haadhaa rab-biy* falam-maa afala qaala lail lam yahdiniy rab-biy la akuunan-na minal qawmiD Daal-liyn
Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Then when he saw the moon shining, he said,
“(You proclaim that) this is my Lord?”; then when it set, he said, “If
my Lord had not guided me *, I too would be one of these astray people.”
(* Prophet Ibrahim was rightly guided before this event).
Yusuf Ali:
When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."
Pickthal:
And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This is my Lord. But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray.
