Translation

EN

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

The love of desirable things is made alluring for men- women, children, gold and silver treasures piled up high, horses with fine markings, livestock, and farmland- these may be the joys of this life, but God has the best place to return to.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allāh has with Him the best return [i.e., Paradise].

Kadınlara, oğullara, kantar kantar altın ve gümüşe, nişanlı atlar ve develere, ekinlere karşı aşırı sevgi beslemek insanlara güzel gösterilmiştir. Bunlar dünya hayatının nimetleridir, oysa gidilecek yerin güzeli Allah katındadır.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

İnsanlara kadınlar, oğullar, yüklerle altın ve gümüş yığınları, salma atlar, davarlar, ekinler kabilinden aşırı sevgiyle bağlanılan şeyler çok süslü gösterilmiştir. Halbuki bunlar dünya hayatının geçici faydalarını sağlayan şeylerdir. Oysa varılacakyerin (ebedî hayatın) bütün güzellikleri Allah katındadır.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Kadınlara, çocuklara, yığınla altın ve gümüşe, nişanlı atlara, (sağılabilen) hayvanlara ve ekinlere karşı aşırı düşkünlük o insanlara çekici görünür. Bu(nlar), dünya hayatının geçimlikleridir. (Oysa) varılacak güzel yer, yalnızca Allah’ın katındadır.

حُسِّن للناس حبُّ الشهوات من النساء والبنين، والأموال الكثيرة من الذهب والفضة، والخيل الحسان، والأنعام من الإبل والبقر والغنم، والأرض المتَّخَذة للغراس والزراعة. ذلك زهرة الحياة الدنيا وزينتها الفانية. والله عنده حسن المرجع والثواب، وهو الجنَّة.
