किन्तु वे ध्यान में न लाए तो हमने उनपर बँध-तोड़ बाढ़ भेज दी और उनके दोनों बाग़ों के बदले में उन्हें दो दूसरे बाग़ दिए, जिनमें कड़वे-कसैले फल और झाड़ थे, और कुछ थोड़ी-सी झड़-बेरियाँ

Quran Urdu translation

تو انہوں نے (شکرگزاری سے) منہ پھیر لیا پس ہم نے ان پر زور کا سیلاب چھوڑ دیا اور انہیں ان کے باغوں کے بدلے دو ایسے باغ دیئے جن کے میوے بدمزہ تھے اور جن میں کچھ تو جھاؤ تھا اور تھوڑی سی بیریاں

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(34:16) But they turned away *28 and so We let loose upon them a devastating flood *29 that swept away the dams and replaced their gardens by two others bearing bitter fruits, tamarisks, and a few lote trees. *30

But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood meaning

*28) That is, "They adopted the way of disobedience and ingratitude instead of obedience and gratefulness."
*29) The word 'arim as used in sayl al- arim in the Text is derived from the South Arabic word ariman, which stands for a "dam". In the ancient inscriptions that have been unearthed in the ruins of the Yaman, this word has been commonly used in this meaning. For example, in an inscription dated 542 or 543 A.D., which Abraha, the Abyssinian governor of the Yaman, had got installed after the repairs to the great dam of Maa`rib, this word has been used repeatedly in the meaning of a dam. Therefore, sayl al- arim implies a flood that comes when a dam breaks.
*30) That is, "As a result of the flood that came after the dam burst, the whole land was laid waste. The canals which the Sabaeans had dug out by building dams between the mountains, were ruined and the irrigation system destroyed. Then the same land which had been like a garden before, became a jungle of wild growth and no eatable plants were left in it except the small plumlike fruit of the lote bushes."
