madani

يَدْعُوا۟ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِۦ ۚ لَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْعَشِيرُ

Yad'oo laman darruhooo aqrabu min naf'ih; labi'salmawlaa wa labi'sal 'asheer

He calleth unto him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; verily an evil patron and verily an evil friend!

Pickthall

(Perhaps) they call on one whose hurt is nearer than his profit: evil, indeed, is the patron, and evil the companion (or help)!

Yusuf Ali

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

Sahih International

সে এমন কিছুকে ডাকে, যার অপকার উপকারের আগে পৌছে। কত মন্দ এই বন্ধু এবং কত মন্দ এই সঙ্গী।

Muhiuddin Khan

ایسے شخص کو پکارتا ہے جس کا نقصان فائدہ سے زیادہ قریب ہے۔ ایسا دوست برا بھی اور ایسا ہم صحبت بھی برا
