(O Prophet), propound to them the parable of the present life: it is like the vegetation of the earth which flourished luxuriantly when it mingled with the water that We sent down from the sky, but after that the same vegetation turned into stubble which the winds blew about. Allah alone has the power over all things.
この世の生活を，譬話でかれらに説きなさい。それはわれが天から降らす雨のようなもので，大地の草木はそれを受けて茂るが，（そのうち）風に吹き散らされて乾いた株の根となる。アッラーは凡ての事に力を持っておられる。
