كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۖ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ۗ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ
Kulu nafsin zaaa'iqatul mawt; wa innamaa tuwaffawna ujoorakum Yawmal Qiyaamati faman zuhziha 'anin Naari waudkhilal Jannata faqad faaz; wa mal hayaatud dunyaaa illaa mataa'ul ghuroor
Każda dusza zakosztuje śmierci i w Dniu Zmartwychwstania zostaną wam w pełni dane nagrody. A ten, kto zostanie odsunięty od ognia i wprowadzony do Ogrodu, ten osiągnął szczęście. Bo życie tego świata, to tylko złudne używanie.
Every soul will taste death. You will be paid your full reward only on the day of resurrection. Whoever is drawn away from the fire and admitted to the garden has truly triumphed. The life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of illusion.
Position matters here: the line sits in the section addressed to the community after Uhud, and the next verse promises further testing in wealth, in themselves, and in what they will have to hear. Zuḥziḥa carries the sense of being tugged just clear of something, a narrow margin rather than a wide one. Matā' is the ordinary word for trade goods a traveller carries, which sets the whole of this life at the value of what fits in a pack.
