16:37

إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَىٰهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَن يُضِلُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ

in taḥriṣ ʿalā hudāhum fa-inna l-laha lā yahdī man yuḍillu wamā lahum min nāṣirīna

[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muḥammad], indeed, Allāh does not guide those He sends astray, and they will have no helpers.

— Saheeh International

Though you [Prophet] may be eager to guide them, God does not guide those who misguide [others], nor will they have anyone to help them.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

If you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) covet for their guidance, then verily Allâh guides not those whom He makes to go astray (or none can guide him whom Allâh sends astray). And they will have no helpers.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
