Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And many a generation We did destroy before them, who exceeded them in strength, therefore venturing in the cities! Is there a place to escape?

Yusuf Ali:
But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)?

Pickthal:
And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)?
