O people, this worldly life is only an enjoyment of temporary pleasures, so let it not deceive you with the short-lived enjoyment it contains. The abode of the Hereafter with the everlasting pleasure it contains is the abode of permanence and residence, so work for it by obeying Allah, and be wary of becoming preoccupied from acting for it due to your worldly life.
O my people, the life of this world is only a brief enjoyment, whereas the Hereafter is the permanent abode.
"O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever."
O my people! Lo! this life of the world is but a passing comfort, and lo! the Hereafter, that is the enduring home.
"O my people! This life of the present is nothing but (temporary) convenience: It is the Hereafter that is the Home that will last.
O my people! this life of the world is only a (passing) enjoyment, and surely the hereafter is the abode to settle;
O my people, surely this present life (Literally: lowly life, i.e., the life of this world) is only a (passing) enjoyment, and surely the Hereafter is (really) the Home of Residence.
