# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by this town, لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
2 as you reside in this town; وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ
3 [and] by the father and him whom he begot: وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
4 certainly We created man in travail. لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
5 Does he suppose that no one will ever have power over him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
6 He says, ‘I have squandered immense wealth.’ يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
7 Does he suppose that no one sees him? أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
8 Have We not made for him two eyes, أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
9 a tongue, and two lips, وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
10 and shown him the two paths [of good and evil]? وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
11 Yet he has not embarked upon the uphill task. فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
12 And what will show you what is the uphill task? وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
13 [It is] the freeing of a slave, فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
14 or feeding, during days of [general] starvation, أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ
15 an orphan among relatives يَتِيمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ
16 or a needy man in desolation, أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
17 while being one of those who have faith and enjoin one another to patience, and enjoin one another to compassion. ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ
18 They are the People of the Right Hand. أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
19 But those who defy Our signs, they are the People of the Left Hand. وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
20 A closed Fire will be [imposed] upon them. عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
