وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ Qur’an At-Takwir (81:4)
Wai tha alAAish a ru AAu tt ilat
and when she-camels big with young, about to give birth, are left untended,
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad
when the ten-month pregnant she-camels will be left unattended;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
and when pregnant camels are left untended,1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Ten-month pregnant camels were the most precious thing for nomadic Arabs. These camels were always cared for and treasured.

And when the camels big with young are abandoned,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
When the she-camels ten months with young are left untended; 5973
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

(4) The type of Arab property, as well as the type of the Arab pet, was the camel, and the most precious camel was the she-camel just about to be delivered of her young. She would in normal times be most sedulously cared for. But when all our landmarks of this life vanish, even she would be left untended. Nothing would then be as it is now.
