Surah An-Nisa Ayat 108 in Arabic Text

يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَسۡتَخۡفُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمۡ إِذۡ يُبَيِّتُونَ مَا لَا يَرۡضَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ مُحِيطًا
Yastakhfoona minannaasi wa laa yastakh foona minal laahi wa huwa ma’ahum iz yubaiyitoona maa laa yardaa minal qawl; wa kaanal laahu bimaa ya’maloona muheetaa

Sahih International

Dr. Ghali
They seek to conceal themselves from (other) men, (Literally: mankind) and they do not seek to conceal themselves from Allah, and He is with them as they brood by night a saying with which He is not satisfied; and Allah has been Supremely Encompassing of whatever they do.

Abdul Haleem
They try to hide themselves from people, but they cannot hide from God. He is with them when they plot at night, saying things that do not please Him: He is fully aware of everything they do.

وه لوگوں سے تو چھﭗ جاتے ہیں، (لیکن) اللہ تعالیٰ سے نہیں چھﭗ سکتے، وه راتوں کے وقت جب کہ اللہ کی ناپسندیده باتوں کے خفیہ مشورے کرتے ہیں اس وقت بھی اللہ ان کے پاس ہوتا ہے، ان کے تمام اعمال کو وه گھیرے ہوئے ہے
