If We will, We would make it broken stubble and you would remain wondering,
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
Had We wanted, We could have crushed it to bits and you would have been left to lament,
If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:

If We so pleased, We could turn your harvest into chaff. Then you would start lamenting,
Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
If I wish to ruin that crop, I can do so after bringing it close to ripening and harvest. You would then be left shocked at what affected it.
