In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 25:28 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →
Oh, woe to me; I wish I never took so-and-so for a friendAlas for me! Ah, would that I had never taken such an one for friendOh! woe is me! would that I had not taken such an one for my friendO, woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend nowwoe to me would that I not I take up so-and-so an intimate friendGenerated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
