  • جُندٞ Soldiers
  • مَّا there
  • هُنَالِكَ there
  • مَهۡزُومٞ (they will be) defeated
  • مِّنَ among
  • ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ the companies
[They are but] soldiers [who will be] defeated there among the companies [of disbelievers].
A routed (mahzoomun is an adjectival qualification of jundun, 'host') host [is all that they are], in other words, they are [nothing but] a despicable host, nothing more - in their denial of you - from among the factions (mina'l-ahzaabi, also an adjectival qualification of jundun) in other words, [they are] like those hosts of factions who were in confederation against prophets before you: these were defeated and destroyed, and likewise We shall destroy these [people].
