| لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {١} |
1. I swear by this city (Mecca) - |
| وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ {٢} |
2. For you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) are in this city. |
| وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ {٣} |
3. And by oath of your forefather Ibrahim, and by you - his illustrious son! |
| لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ {٤} |
4. We have indeed created man surrounded by hardships. |
| أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ {٥} |
5. Does man think that no one will ever have power over him? |
| يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا {٦} |
6. He says, “I destroyed vast wealth.” |
| أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ {٧} |
7. Does man think that no one saw him? |
| أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ {٨} |
8. Did We not make two eyes for him? |
| وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ {٩} |
9. And a tongue and two lips? |
| وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ {١٠} |
10. And did We not guide him to the two elevated things? |
| فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ {١١} |
11. So he did not quickly enter the steep valley. |
| وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ {١٢} |
12. And what have you understood, what the valley is! |
| فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ {١٣} |
13. The freeing of a slave! |
| أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ {١٤} |
14. Or the feeding on a day of hunger. |
| يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ {١٥} |
15. Of a related orphan, |
| أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ {١٦} |
16. Or of a homeless needy person! |
| ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ {١٧} |
17. And moreover to be of those who accepted faith, and who urged patience to one another and who urged graciousness to one another. |
| أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ {١٨} |
18. These are the people of the right. |
| وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ {١٩} |
19. And those who denied Our signs, are the people of the left. |
| عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُؤْصَدَةٌ {٢٠} |
20. Upon them is a fire, in which they are imprisoned, closed and shut above them. |
