Arabic

اِعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَّلَهْوٌ وَّزِيْنَةٌ وَّتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِى الْاَمْوَالِ وَالْاَوْلَادِۗ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ اَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهٗ ثُمَّ يَهِيْجُ فَتَرٰىهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُوْنُ حُطَامًاۗ وَفِى الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيْدٌۙ وَّمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٌ ۗوَمَا الْحَيٰوةُ الدُّنْيَآ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوْرِ ۝٢٠

Transliteration

I‘lamū annamal-ḥayātud-dun-yā la‘ibuw wa lahwuw wa zīnatuw wa tafākhurum bainakum wa takāṡurun fil-amwāli wal-aulād, kamaṡali ghoiṡin a‘jabal-kuffāro nabātuhū ṡumma yahīju fatarōhu muṣfarron ṡumma yakūnu ḥuṭōmā, wa fil-ākhiroti ‘ażābun syadīd, wa maghfirotum minallāhi wa riḍwān, wa mal-ḥayātud-dun-yā illā matā‘ul-ghurūr

Meaning

Know that the worldly life is only play, and distraction, and glitter, and boasting among you, and rivalry in wealth and children. It is like a rainfall that produces plants, and delights the disbelievers. But then it withers, and you see it yellowing, and then it becomes debris. While in the Hereafter there is severe agony, and forgiveness from Allah, and acceptance. The life of this world is nothing but enjoyment of vanity.
