Verse meaning
This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.
We ordained for them therein, “A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds equal retaliation[1].” But if anyone waives it charitably, then it will be an expiation for him[2]. Whoever does not judge according to what Allah has revealed, it is they who are the wrongdoers.

[1] This verse alludes to the law known as "lex talionis" (law of retaliation/reciprocal justice) which states that justice should be carried out: ‘ayin tachat ‘ayin, “an eye for an eye”, as told in the Torah (Exodus 21: 24) but which was distorted from its proper, fully-known position. The Qur’an re-establishes this principle. [2] Forgiveness is not only encouraged by Allah but is also rewarded for.
