Surah An-Naml Ayat 56 in Arabic Text
English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 56
But the answer of his people was not except that they said, “Expel the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure.”
But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, “Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!”
But this had only one answer from his people. They said: “Expel Lot’s folk from your city. They pretend to be absolutely clean.”
There was no other answer given by his people except that they said: “Drive out the family of Lout (Lot) from your city. Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!”
But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean!
Then in no way was the answer of his people anything except that they said, “Drive the house of Lt out of your town; surely they are a folk who purify themselves.”
The only answer his people gave was to say, ‘Expel Lot’s followers from your town! These men mean to stay chaste!’
قوم کا جواب بجز اس کہنے کے اور کچھ نہ تھا کہ آل لوط کو اپنے شہر سے شہر بدر کر دو، یہ تو بڑے پاک باز بن رہے ہیں
