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 this world is only play and amusement , pomp and mutual boasting among you , and rivalry in respect of wealth and children , as the likeness of vegetation after rain , thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller ; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow ; then it becomes straw . But in the Hereafter ( there is ) a severe torment ( for the disbelievers , evil-doers ) , and ( there is ) Forgiveness from Allah and ( His ) Good Pleasure ( for the believers , good-doers ) , whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment .
