Sahih International:

O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter – that is the home of [permanent] settlement. (Ghafir [40] : 39)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

O my people, this life of the world is only a (momentary) benefit, while the Hereafter is, indeed, the place of permanent living.
