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 only play , and idle talk , and pageantry , and boasting among you , and rivalry in respect of wealth and children ; as the likeness of vegetation after rain , whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman , but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow , then it becometh straw . And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment , and ( also ) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure , whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion .
