This present life is like the water We send down from the sky. The plants of the earth mix with it and from it mankind and cattle eat; then when the earth has become lush and adorned, its inhabitants think they have power over it, Our command comes upon it by night or day, and We cause it to be stubble, just as though it had not flourished the day before.
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.
