# Translation Ayah
1 Nay, I swear by this city - لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
2 And thou art an indweller of this city - وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
3 And the begetter and that which he begat, وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
4 We verily have created man in an atmosphere: لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
5 Thinketh he that none hath power over him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
6 And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth: يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
7 Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
8 Did We not assign unto him two eyes أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
9 And a tongue and two lips, وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
10 And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways? وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
11 But he hath not attempted the Ascent - فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
12 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is! - وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
13 (It is) to free a slave, فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
14 And to feed in the day of hunger. أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ
15 An orphan near of kin, يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
16 Or some poor wretch in misery, أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
17 And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to pity. ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ
18 Their place will be on the right hand. أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
19 But those who disbelieve Our revelations, their place will be on the left hand. وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
20 Fire will be an awning over them. عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
