Say to them (O Muhammad!): 'Come, let me recite what your Lord has laid down to you: (i) that you associate nothing with Him; (ii) and do good to your parents; (iii) and do not slay your children out of fear of poverty. We provide you and will likewise provide them with sustenance; (iv) and do not even draw to things shameful - be they open or secret; (v) and do not slay the soul santified by Allah except in just cause; this He has enjoined upon you so that you may understand;

(Aey Muhammad)!Inse kaho ke aao main tumhein sunaoon tumhare Rubb ne tumpar kya pabandiyan aayad ki hain : yeh ke uske saath kisi ko shareek na karo, aur walidain (Maa Baap) ke saath neik sulook karo, aur apni aulad ko muflisi ke darr se qatal na karo, hum tumhein bhi rizq dete hain aur unko bhi denge, aur besharmi ki baaton ke qareeb bhi na jao, khwah woh khuli hon ya chupi. Aur kisi jaan ko jisey Allah ne mohtaram thehraya hai halaak na karo magar haqq ke saath. Yeh baatein hain jinki hidayat usne tumhein ki hai, shayad ke tum samajh boojh se kaam lo

When any of them is told about the birth of a female his face turns dark, and he is filled with suppressed anger,

Jab in mein se kisi ko beti ke paida honay ki khush-khabri di jati hai to uske chehre par kaloons (grows dark) chaa jati hai aur woh bas khoon ka sa ghoont pee kar reh jata hai

and he hides himself from people because of the bad news, thinking: should he keep the child despite disgrace, or should he bury it in dust? How evil is their estimate of Allah!

Logon se chupta phirta hai ke is buri khabar ke baad kya kisi ko mooh dikhaye. Sochta hai ke zillat ke saath beti ko liye rahey ya mitti mein daba de? Dekho kaise bure hukum hain jo yeh khuda ke barey mein lagate hain

(vii) Do not kill your children for fear of want. We will provide for them and for you. Surely killing them is a great sin.

Apni aulad ko iflas (tangdasti) ke andeshey se qatal na karo, hum unhein bhi rizq denge aur tumhein bhi. Dar haqeeqat unka qatal ek badi khata hai

(ix) Do not kill any person whom Allah has forbidden to kill, except with right. We have granted the heir of him who has been wrongfully killed the authority to (claim retribution);so let him not exceed in slaying. He shall be helped.

Qatal-e-nafs ka irtiqab na karo jisey Allah ne haraam kiya hai magar haqq ke saath, aur jo shaks mazloomana qatal kiya gaya ho uske wali ko humne qisas (retribution) ke mutalibe ka haqq ata kiya hai. Pas chahiye ke woh qatal mein hadd se na guzre, uski madad ki jayegi
