surah Zumar aya 8 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿۞ وَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَا رَبَّهُ مُنِيبًا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلَهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنْهُ نَسِيَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مِن قَبْلُ وَجَعَلَ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا لِّيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۚ قُلْ تَمَتَّعْ بِكُفْرِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ﴾
[ الزمر: 8]
39:8 And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishAnd when the disbeliever is afflicted by difficulty, such as illness, loss of wealth or fear of drowning, he calls upon his Lord to remove the difficulty which is upon him, turning to Him alone.
Then when he grants him a favour by removing the difficulty which afflicted him, he leaves whom he used to beseech before, which is Allah, and he makes for Allah associates which he worships besides Him.
O Messenger, say to one whose condition this is: “Enjoy your disbelief for as long as you live, which is a short time, as you are amongst the people of the fire who will be inseparable from it on the Day of Judgment, like a companion is inseparable from his companion”.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And when some hurt touches man, he cries to his Lord (Allah Alone), turning to Him in repentance, but when He bestows a favour upon him from Himself, he forgets that for which he cried for before, and he sets up rivals to Allah, in order to mislead others from His Path. Say: "Take pleasure in your disbelief for a while: surely, you are (one) of the dwellers of the Fire!"

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri

وإذا مس الإنسان ضر دعا ربه منيبا إليه ثم إذا خوله نعمة منه نسي ما كان يدعو إليه من قبل وجعل لله أندادا ليضل عن سبيله قل تمتع بكفرك قليلا إنك من أصحاب النار
سورة: الزمر - آية: ( 8 ) - جزء: ( 23 ) - صفحة: ( 459 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And when man is touched or befallen with a misfortune or wedded to a calamity he invokes Allah, his Creator, turning to Him exclusively. And when He extends to Him His mercy and grace and delivers him from what is burdensome and exhaustive to the mind he forgets and passes heedless of Allah as though he never invoked Him for relief not long ago; he sets up to Him rivals and incorporates with Him other deities to mislead people from His path of righteousness. Say to them O Muhammad: Enjoy your infidelity for a while, the pleasure you derive from falsehood is short lived and rest assured that you shall be among those destined to the abode in Hell
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(39:8) When any affliction befalls man, *23 he cries out to his Lord, penitently turning to Him. *24 But when his Lord bestows His favour upon him, he forgets the affliction regarding which he had cried out *25 and sets up compeers to Allah *26 that they may lead others astray from His Path. *27 Say, (O Prophet): 'Enjoy your unbelief for a while. Surely you will be among the inmates of the Fire.'
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to meaning
*23) "The man": the disbeliever who adopted the way of ingratitude.
*24) That is, "At that time he dces not remember those other deities whom he used to invoke in good times; but he despairs of them all and turns only to Allah, Lord of the worlds." This is a clear proof of the fact that in the depths of his heart he has the feeling that all other deities are helpless, and the realization that Allah alone is the Possessor of all powers and authority, lies buried and hidden deep in his mind. "
*25) That is, "He again forgets the bad times when abandoning all other deities he was invoking only Allah, the One."
*26) That is, "He again starts serving others: he obeys them, prays to them and makes offerings before them."
*27) That is, "He is not content with his own self having gone astray, but also leads others astray, telling them that the affliction which had befallen him, had been averted by the help of such and such a pious man or saint, or god and goddess." Thus, many other people also put their faith in these deities besides Allah, and are further misled as the ignorant and foolish people describe their experiences before them.

انسان پر جب کوئی آفت آتی ہے تو وہ اپنے رب کی طرف رجوع کر کے اُسے پکارتا ہے پھر جب اس کا رب اسے اپنی نعمت سے نواز دیتا ہے تو وہ اُس مصیبت کو بھول جاتا ہے جس پر وہ پہلے پکار رہا تھا اور دوسروں کو اللہ کا ہمسر ٹھیراتا ہے تاکہ اُس کی راہ سے گمراہ کرے (اے نبیؐ) اُس سے کہو کہ تھوڑے دن اپنے کفر سے لطف اٹھا لے، یقیناً تو دوزخ میں جانے والا ہے
