21:17
لَوْ أَرَدْنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَّٱتَّخَذْنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ
law aradnā an nattakhidha lahwan la-ittakhadhnāhu min ladunnā in kunnā fāʿilīna
Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
— Saheeh International
If We had wished for a pastime, We could have found it within Us- if We had wished for any such thing.
— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
Had We intended to take a pastime (i.e. a wife or a son), We could surely have taken it from Us, if We were going to do (that).
— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
