وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا ٤٥

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.

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا

And put forward to them the example of the life of this world,

كَمَاءٍ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ

it is like the water (rain) which We send down from the sky,

فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ

and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it,

فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ

and becomes fresh and green. But (later) it becomes dry and broken pieces, which the winds scatter.

وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا

And Allah is Able to do everything.
