[But the angels spoke thus:] "As thou livest, [O Lot, they will not listen to thee:] behold, in their delirium [of lust] they are but blindly stumbling to and fro!"

Verily, by thy life (O Prophet), in their wild intoxication, they wander in distraction, to and fro.

By thy life (O Muhammad) they moved blindly in the frenzy of approaching death.

By thy life! they blindly wandered on in their frenzy.

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
