Verse No. 27 in the Noble Quran
Chapter 2:20
Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW)
QARIB: the lightning almost snatches away their sight, whenever it flashes upon them they walk on, but as soon as it darkens they stand still. indeed, if Allah willed, he could take away their sight and hearing. Allah has power over all things.
SHAKIR: the lightning almost takes away their sight; whenever it shines on them they walk in it, and when it becomes dark to them they stand still; and if Allah had pleased he would certainly have taken away their hearing and their sight; surely Allah has power over all things
PICKTHAL: the lightning almost snatcheth away their sight from them. as often as it flasheth forth for them they walk therein, and when it darkeneth against them they stand still. if Allah willed, he could destroy their hearing and their sight. lo! Allah is able to do all things.
YUSUFALI: the lightning all but snatches away their sight; every time the light (helps) them, they walk therein, and when the darkness grows on them, they stand still. and if Allah willed, he could take away their faculty of hearing and seeing; for Allah hath power over all things.
