وَٱضْرِبْ And present لَهُم to them مَّثَلَ the example ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world كَمَآءٍ like water أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ which We send down مِنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَٱخْتَلَطَ then mingles بِهِۦ with it نَبَاتُ (the) vegetation ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth فَأَصْبَحَ then becomes هَشِيمًۭا dry stalks تَذْرُوهُ it (is) scattered ٱلرِّيَـٰحُ ۗ (by) the winds وَكَانَ And Allah ٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ over كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing مُّقْتَدِرًا (is) All Able ٤٥
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allāh is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
