Sahih International
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”

Yusuf Ali
O ye who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance: In the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow,- the Day that Allah will not permit to be humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with him.

O you who have believed, repent to Allah in honest repentance; it may be that your Lord will expiate for you your ill deeds and will cause you to enter Gardens from beneath which rivers run, on a Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and the ones who believed with him. Their light will be proceeding along before (Literally: between their hands) them and on their right (hands), (and) they say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us; surely You are Ever-Determiner over everything.”

Abdel Haleem
Believers, turn to God in sincere repentance. Your Lord may well cancel your bad deeds for you and admit you into Gardens graced with flowing streams, on a Day when God will not disgrace the Prophet or those who have believed with him. With their lights streaming out ahead of them and to their right, they will say, ‘Lord, perfect our lights for us and forgive us: You have power over everything.’

Muhammad Junagarhi
اے ایمان والو! تم اللہ کے سامنے سچی خالص توبہ کرو۔ قریب ہے کہ تمہارا رب تمہارے گناه دور کر دے اور تمہیں ایسی جنتوں میں داخل کرے جن کے نیچے نہریں جاری ہیں۔ جس دن اللہ تعالیٰ نبی کو اور ایمان والوں کو جو ان کے ساتھ ہیں رسوا نہ کرے گا۔ ان کا نور ان کے سامنے اور ان کے دائیں دوڑ رہا ہوگا۔ یہ دعائیں کرتے ہوں گے اے ہمارے رب ہمیں کامل نور عطا فرما اور ہمیں بخش دے یقیناً تو ہر چیز پر قادر ہے
