لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {١} 1. And thou wilt be made free from obligation in this City --
وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {٢} 2. And the begetter and he whom he begot!
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ {٣} 3. We have certainly created man to face difficulties.
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ {٤} 4. Does he think that no one has power over him?
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ {٥} 5. He will say: I have wasted much wealth.
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا {٦} 6. Does he think that no one sees him?
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ {٧} 7. Have We not given him two eyes,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ {٨} 8. And a tongue and two lips,
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ {٩} 9. And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ {١٠} 10. But he attempts not the uphill road;
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ {١١} 11. And what will make thee comprehend what the uphill road is?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ {١٢} 12. (It is) to free a slave,
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ {١٣} 13. Or to feed in a day of hunger
أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ {١٤} 14. An orphan nearly related,
يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ {١٥} 15. Or the poor man lying in the dust.
أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ {١٦} 16. Then he is of those who believe and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to mercy.
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ {١٧} 17. These are the people of the right hand.
أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ {١٨} 18. And those who disbelieve in Our messages, they are the people of the left hand.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ {١٩} 19. On them is Fire closed over.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ {٢٠} 20. By the sun and his brightness!
