English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 72
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them Our verses. Say, “Then shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that? [It is] the Fire which Allah has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination.”
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, thou wilt notice a denial on the faces of the Unbelievers! they nearly attack with violence those who rehearse Our Signs to them. Say, “Shall I tell you of something (far) worse than these Signs? It is the Fire (of Hell)! Allah has promised it to the Unbelievers! and evil is that destination!”
When Our Signs are plainly recited to them, you will perceive utter repugnance on their faces and it all but seems as if they will soon pounce upon those who recite Our Signs to them. Say: “Shall I tell you what is worse than that? The Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. That is truly an evil end.”
And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers! They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our Verses to them.

And when Our revelations are recited unto them, thou knowest the denial in the faces of those who disbelieve; they all but attack those who recite Our revelations unto them. Say: Shall I proclaim unto you worse than that? The Fire! Allah hath promised it for those who disbelieve. A hapless journey’s end!
And when Our ayat (Verse, signs) are recited to them, supremely evident (signs), you recognise in the faces of the ones who have disbelieved maleficent (denial); they almost attack the ones who recite to them Our signs. Say, “Shall I then fully inform you of an eviler (thing) than that? (Literally: those “things”) The fire, Allah has promised it for the ones who disbelieved, and miserable is the Destiny!”
[Prophet], you can see the hostility on the faces of the disbelievers when Our messages are recited clearly to them: it is almost as if they are going to attack those who recite Our messages to them. Say, ‘Shall I tell you what is far worse than what you feel now? The Fire that God has promised the disbelievers! What a dismal end!’
جب ان کے سامنے ہمارے کلام کی کھلی ہوئی آیتوں کی تلاوت کی جاتی ہے تو آپ کافروں کے چہروں پر ناخوشی کے صاف آﺛار پہچان لیتے ہیں۔ وه تو قریب ہوتے ہیں کہ ہماری آیتیں سنانے والوں پر حملہ کر بیٹھیں، کہہ دیجئے کہ کیا میں تمہیں اس سے بھی زیاده بدتر خبر دوں۔ وه آگ ہے، جس کا وعده اللہ نے کافروں سے کر رکھا ہے، اور وه بہت ہی بری جگہ ہے
