Surah An-Nisa · Ayah 129

“Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.”

“Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.”

“And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allah - then indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.”

“তোমরা কখনও নারীদেরকে সমান রাখতে পারবে না, যদিও এর আকাঙ্ক্ষী হও। অতএব, সম্পূর্ণ ঝুঁকেও পড়ো না যে, একজনকে ফেলে রাখ দোদুল্যমান অবস্থায়। যদি সংশোধন কর এবং খোদাভীরু হও, তবে আল্লাহ ক্ষমাশীল, করুণাময়।”

“اور تم خوا کتنا ہی چاہو عورتوں میں ہرگز برابری نہیں کرسکو گے تو ایسا بھی نہ کرنا کہ ایک ہی کی طرف ڈھل جاؤ اور دوسری کو (ایسی حالت میں) چھوڑ دو کہ گویا ادھر ہوا میں لٹک رہی ہے اور اگر آپس میں موافقت کرلو اور پرہیزگاری کرو تو خدا بخشنے والا مہربان ہے”
