surah Ahqaf aya 26 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِيمَا إِن مَّكَّنَّاكُمْ فِيهِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَأَبْصَارًا وَأَفْئِدَةً فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَا أَفْئِدَتُهُم مِّن شَيْءٍ إِذْ كَانُوا يَجْحَدُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ﴾
[ الأحقاف: 26]
46:26 And We had certainly established them in such as We have not established you, and We made for them hearing and vision and hearts. But their hearing and vision and hearts availed them not from anything [of the punishment] when they were [continually] rejecting the signs of Allah; and they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishAnd I granted the people of Hud the means of establishment which I have not given you, and I gave them hearing to hear with, vision to see with and hearts to understand with.
But their hearing did not benefit them at all, nor did their vision or intellects.
They did not repel Allah’s punishment from them when it came to them, as they used to disbelieve in Allah’s signs, and the punishment which they used to mock and which their prophet Hud ( peace be upon him ) used to warn them of befell them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And indeed We had firmly established them with that wherewith We have not established you (O Quraish)! And We had assigned them the (faculties of) hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and hearts, but their hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and their hearts availed them nothing since they used to deny the Ayat (Allah's Prophets and their Prophethood, proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, and they were completely encircled by that which they used to mock at!

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power which We have not given to you (ye Quraish!) and We had endowed them with (faculties of) hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And indeed We had firmly established them with that wherewith We have not established you! We also gave them hearing, vision, and hearts. But their hearing, vision, and hearts availed them nothing since they used to deny the Ayat of Allah, and they were completely encircled by that which they used to ridicule!

46:26 And We had certainly established them in such as We have not translate in arabic
ولقد مكناهم فيما إن مكناكم فيه وجعلنا لهم سمعا وأبصارا وأفئدة فما أغنى عنهم سمعهم ولا أبصارهم ولا أفئدتهم من شيء إذ كانوا يجحدون بآيات الله وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
سورة: الأحقاف - آية: ( 26 ) - جزء: ( 26 ) - صفحة: ( 505 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
We had endowed them with power and ability, with diligence and capacities of action, with wealth and knowledge, with mental receiving Dower and talent, and with many qualities which total up to a much higher degree then those that are summed up in you people. We conferred on them the power of hearing and seeing, faculties divine, and We conferred on them the seat of feeling, understanding and thought, and the seat of consciousness, intellect and volitions, but they took a bad advantage of thesc divine qualities and misused them, Consequently neither their power of hearing nor that of seeing were of any advantage to them nor did they derive benefit of their intellect or of their volitions; They simply ignored Allahs revelations and signs, and by consequence they were beset on all sides by the same material and immaterial things they mocked at, owing to their inordinate self-esteem
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(46:26) We had established them firmly in a manner We have not established you. *30 We had given them ears and eyes and hearts. But nothing availed them ' neither their ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts, for they denied the Signs of Allah. *31 Then what they had mocked at encompassed them.
And We had certainly established them in such as We have not meaning
*30) That is, "You are no match for them as far as wealth, power, authority and other things are concerned: your sphere of authority is restricted to the bounds of the city of Makkah, but they had dominated a large part of the earth. "
*31) An important truth has been stated in this brief sentence. It is only the Revelations of Allah which give the right knowledge and understanding of the truth and reality to man. If man has this understanding and knowledge he sees the right thing with his eyes, hears the right thing with his ears, thinks the right thing with his mind and intellect and takes the right decisions. But when he refuses to believe in the Revelations of Allah, he fails to see the truth in spite of the eyes, becomes deaf to every word of admonition in spite of the ears, and misuses the blessings of the mind and intellect that God has granted him, and goes on drawing wrong conclusions one after the other; so much so that he starts 'sing aII his capabilities for his own destruction.
And We had certainly established them in such as We have not meaning in Urdu
اُن کو ہم نے وہ کچھ دیا تھا جو تم لوگوں کو نہیں دیا ہے اُن کو ہم نے کان، آنکھیں اور دل، سب کچھ دے رکھے تھے، مگر نہ وہ کان اُن کے کسی کام آئے، نہ آنکھیں، نہ دل، کیونکہ وہ اللہ کی آیات کا انکار کرتے تھے، اور اُسی چیز کے پھیر میں وہ آ گئے جس کا وہ مذاق اڑاتے تھے
