Verily the likeness of (this) worldly life is as the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified, and its people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday!
Abin sani kawai, misãlin rãyuwar dũniya kamar ruwa ne Muka saukar da shi daga sama, sa'an nan tsiron ƙasa ya garwaya da shi. Daga abin da mutãne da dabbõbi suke ci, har idan ƙasa ta riƙi zinãriyarta kuma ta yi ƙawa, kuma mutãnenta suka zaci cẽwa sũ ne mãsu ĩkon yi a kanta, sai umurninMu ya je mata da dare kõ kuma da rãna, sai Mu maishẽta girbabba kamar ba ta wadãta ba a jiya.
