Walan tastateeAAoo an taAAdiloobayna alnnisa-i walaw harastum falatameeloo kulla almayli fatatharooha kaalmuAAallaqatiwa-in tuslihoo watattaqoo fa-inna Allaha kanaghafooran raheeman ولن تستطيعوا أن تعدلوا بين النساء ولو حرصتم فلا تميلوا كل الميل فتذروها كالمعلقة وإن تصلحوا وتتقوا فإن الله كان غفورا رحيما
وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُواْ أَن تَعْدِلُواْ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلاَ تَمِيلُواْ كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصْلِحُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

  اور تم ہرگز اس بات کی طاقت نہیں رکھتے کہ (ایک سے زائد) بیویوں کے درمیان (پورا پورا) عدل کر سکو اگرچہ تم کتنا بھی چاہو۔ پس (ایک کی طرف) پورے میلان طبع کے ساتھ (یوں) نہ جھک جاؤ کہ دوسری کو (درمیان میں) لٹکتی ہوئی چیز کی طرح چھوڑ دو۔ اور اگر تم اصلاح کر لو اور (حق تلفی و زیادتی سے) بچتے رہو تو اللہ بڑا بخشنے والا نہایت مہربان ہے

Yousuf AliYe are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Ahmed Aliاور تم عورتوں کو ہرگز برابر نہیں رکھ سکو گے اگرچہ اس کی حرص کرو سوتم بالکل ہی ایک طرف نہ جھک جاؤ کہ دوسری عورت کو لٹکی ہوئی چھوڑ دو اور اگر اصلاح کرتے رہو اور پرہیزگاری کرتے رہو تو الله بحشنے والا مہربان ہے
Ahmed Raza Khanاور تم سے ہرگز نہ ہوسکے گا کہ عورتوں کو برابر رکھو اور چاہے کتنی ہی حرص کرو تو یہ تو نہ ہو کہ ایک طرف پورا جھک جاؤ کہ دوسری کو ادھر میں لٹکتی چھوڑ دو اور اگر تم نیکی اور پرہیزگاری کرو تو بیشک اللہ بخشنے والا مہربان ہے،
Shabbir Ahmed اور نہیں قدرت رکھتے تم اس بات کی کہ عدل کرسکو بیویوں کے درمیان، خواہ کتنا ہی چاہو تم لہٰذا نہ جھک جاؤ (کسی ایک کی طرف) پُور ی طرح جُھکنا کہ چھوڑ دو دوسری بیویوں کو ادھر لٹکتا۔ اور اگر درست کرلو تم (اپناطرزِ عمل) اور ڈرتے رہو اللہ سے تو بے شک اللہ ہے بہت معاف کرنے والا، او ررحم فرمانے والا۔
Fateh Muhammad Jalandharyاور تم خوا کتنا ہی چاہو عورتوں میں ہرگز برابری نہیں کرسکو گے تو ایسا بھی نہ کرنا کہ ایک ہی کی طرف ڈھل جاؤ اور دوسری کو (ایسی حالت میں) چھوڑ دو کہ گویا ادھر ہوا میں لٹک رہی ہے اور اگر آپس میں موافقت کرلو اور پرہیزگاری کرو تو خدا بخشنے والا مہربان ہے
Mehmood Al Hassanاور تم ہرگز برابر نہ رکھ سکو گے عورتوں کو اگرچہ اس کی حرص کرو سو بالکل پھر بھی نہ جاؤ کہ ڈال رکھو ایک عورت کو جیسے ادھر میں لٹکتی اور اگر اصلاح کرتے رہو اور پرہیزگاری کرتے رہو تو للہ بخشنے والا مہربان
Abul Ala Maududiبیویوں کے درمیان پورا پورا عدل کرنا تمہارے بس میں نہیں ہے تم چاہو بھی تو اس پر قادر نہیں ہوسکتے لہٰذا (قانون الٰہی کا منشا پورا کرنے کے لیے یہ کافی ہے کہ) ایک بیوی کی طرف اِس طرح نہ جھک جاؤ کہ دوسری کو ادھر لٹکتا چھوڑ دو اگر تم اپنا طرز عمل درست رکھو اور اللہ سے ڈرتے رہو تو اللہ چشم پوشی کرنے والا اور رحم فرمانے والا ہے

LiteralAnd you will never be able that you be just/equitable between the women, and (even) if you held onto stingily and desired strongly (were very careful), so do not bend/sway all the bend/inclination, so you leave her as/like the suspended neither properly married nor divorced and free to remarry (abused, abandoned and neglected), and if you reconciliate, and you fear and obey (God), so then God was/is a forgiving, merciful.
Yusuf AliYe are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
PickthalYe will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Arberry You will not be able to be equitable between your wives, be you ever so eager; yet do not be altogether partial so that you leave her as it were suspended. If you set things right, and are godfearing, God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
ShakirAnd you have it not in your power to do justice between wives, even though you may wish (it), but be not disinclined (from one) with total disinclination, so that you leave her as it were in suspense; and if you effect a reconciliation and guard (against evil), then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
SarwarYou will never be able to maintain justice among your wives and love them all equally, no matter how hard you try. Do not give total preference to one of them, leaving the other as if in suspense. If you do bring about reconciliation and maintain piety, God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.
H/K/SaheehAnd you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allah then indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
MalikIt is not possible for you to do justice between your wives even if you wish to do so; therefore, in order to comply with Divine Law, do not lean towards one wife to the extent that you leave the other hanging in air. If you work out a friendly understanding and fear Allah, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.[129]
Maulana Ali**And you cannot do justice between wives, even though you wish (it), but be not disinclined (from one) with total disinclination, so that you leave her in suspense. And if you are reconciled and keep your duty, surely Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Free MindsAnd you will not be able to be fair regarding the women even if you make every effort; so do not sway too greatly and leave her as one hanging in a void. And if you reconcile and do right, then God is Forgiving, Merciful.
Qaribullah You will not be able to be just between your women, even though you are eager. Do not be altogether partial so that you leave her as if she were suspended. If you reform and are cautious, Allah is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
George SaleYe can by no means carry your selves equally between women in all respects, although ye study to do it; Therefore turn not from a wife with all manner of aversion, nor leave her like one in suspense: If ye agree, and fear to abuse your wives, God is gracious and merciful;
JM RodwellAnd ye will not have it at all in your power to treat your wives alike, even though you fain would do so; but yield not wholly to disinclination, so that ye leave one of them as it were in suspense; if ye come to an understanding, and fear God, then, veril
AsadAnd it will not be within your power to treat your wives with equal fairness, however much you may desire it; and so, do not allow yourselves to incline towards one to the exclusion of the other, leaving her in a state, as it were, of having and not having a husband. But if you put things to rights and are conscious of Him - behold, God is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.
Khalifa**You can never be equitable in dealing with more than one wife, no matter how hard you try. Therefore, do not be so biased as to leave one of them hanging (neither enjoying marriage, nor left to marry someone else). If you correct this situation and maintain righteousness, GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Hilali/Khan**You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allah by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.
QXP Shabbir Ahemd**Men who have been permitted a second wife for post-war exigencies (4:3) must understand that: You will not be able to deal equally between your wives however much you wish. But turn not altogether away from one, leaving her as if in suspense between having and not having a husband. Fulfill the rights of each one of them and be mindful of Allah. Verily, Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. (Your effort is seen 53:40, and He is the Absolver of your imperfections).
