لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ
Laysa lahum t aAA a mun ill a min d areeAA in
No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns,
  - Mohammad Asad
They shall have no food except bitter thorny fruit,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub,
  - Mustafa Khattab
No food for them save bitter thorn fruit
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari 6099
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The root-meaning implies again the idea of humiliation. It is a plant, bitter and thorny, loathsome in smell and appearance, which will neither give fattening nourishment to the body nor in any way satisfy the burning pangs of hunger,-a fit plant for Hell, like Zaqqum (lvi. 52; or xvii. 60, n. 2250).
