And not (is) this life (of) the world but amusement and play. And indeed, the Home (of) the Hereafter - surely, it (is) the life, if only they know.
for, [if they did, they would know that] the life of this world is nothing but a passing delight and a play - whereas, behold, the life in the hereafter is indeed the only [true] life: if they but knew this!
What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew.
This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew.
And the life of this world is but a sport and a play. And the home of the Hereafter, that surely is the Life, did they but know!
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.
