And put forward to them the example of the life of this world, it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it, and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter. And Allah is Able to do everything.
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。
