لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {١} 1. Nay, I swear by this city -
وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {٢} 2. And thou art an indweller of this city -
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ {٣} 3. And the begetter and that which he begat,
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ {٤} 4. We verily have created man in an atmosphere:
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ {٥} 5. Thinketh he that none hath power over him?
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا {٦} 6. And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth:
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ {٧} 7. Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ {٨} 8. Did We not assign unto him two eyes
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ {٩} 9. And a tongue and two lips,
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ {١٠} 10. And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways?
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ {١١} 11. But he hath not attempted the Ascent -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ {١٢} 12. Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is! -
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ {١٣} 13. (It is) to free a slave,
أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ {١٤} 14. And to feed in the day of hunger.
يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ {١٥} 15. An orphan near of kin,
أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ {١٦} 16. Or some poor wretch in misery,
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ {١٧} 17. And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to pity.
أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ {١٨} 18. Their place will be on the right hand.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ {١٩} 19. But those who disbelieve Our revelations, their place will be on the left hand.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ {٢٠} 20. Fire will be an awning over them.
