Sahih International
And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur’an

Yusuf Ali
We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur’an making things clear:

Abul Ala Maududi
We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book

Muhsin Khan
And We have not taught him (Muhammad SAW) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Quran.

Pickthall
And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,

Dr. Ghali
And in no way did We teach him (The Prophet) poetry; and in no way does it behoove him. Decidedly (this revelation) it is nothing (else) except a Remembrance and an evident Qur’an.

Abdel Haleem
We have not taught the Prophet poetry, nor could he everhave been a poet.

Muhammad Junagarhi
نہ تو ہم نے اس پیغمبر کو شعر سکھائے اور نہ یہ اس کے ﻻئق ہے۔ وه تو صرف نصیحت اور واضح قرآن ہے

(36:69) We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him.[58] This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book


58. This is a rejoinder to the disbelievers, who slighted the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his message by branding him a poet when he preached Tauhid and talked of the Hereafter, life-after-death, and Hell and Heaven.
