ቅርቢቱ ሕይወት ጨዋታና ዛዛታ ፣ ማጌጫም ፣ በመካከላችሁም መፎካከሪያ ፣ በገንዘቦችና በልጆችም ብዛት መበላለጫ ብቻ መኾንዋን ዕወቁ ፡ ፡ ( እርሷ ) በቃዩ ገበሬዎችን እንደሚያስደስት ዝናም ፣ ከዚያም በቃዩ እንደሚደርቅና ገርጥቶ እንደምታየው ፣ ከዚያም የተሰባበረ እንደሚኾን ብጤ ናት ፣ በመጨረሻይቱም ዓለም ብርቱ ቅጣት ከአላህም ምሕረትና ውዴታ አልለ ፡ ፡ የቅርቢቱም ሕይወት የመታለያ ጥቅም እንጅ ሌላ አይደለችም ፡ ፡
Know that the life of the world is but a play and a pastime , and an adornment and a self-glorification among you and vying in respect of riches and children ; as the likeness of vegetation after rains whereof the growth pleaseth the husbandmen , then it withereth and thou seest it becoming yellow , then it becometh chaff . And in the Hereafter there is both a grievous torment and forgiveness from Allah and His pleasure , and the life of the world is but a vain bauble .
