Yusuf Ali
43. Those of Abraham and Lut;

44. (And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers 
a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence!
Yusuf Ali
44. And the Companions of the Madyan people: and Moses was rejected (in the same way).  
But I granted respite to the Unbelievers and (only) after that did I punish them: but 
how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)!

this day) in, and (how many) a deserted well and lofty tower!

46. Have they not travelled in the land, and have they hearts wherewith to feel and 
ears wherewith to hear? For indeed it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the 
hearts, which are within the bosoms, that grow blind.

are blind but their hearts which are in their breasts.

lo! a Day with Allah is as a the sand years of what ye reckon.

promise.  Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your 
reckoning.

Unto Me is the return.

In the end I punished them.  To Me is the destination (of all).
