1. | Nay! I swear by this city |
2. | And you shall be made free from obligation in this city-- |
3. | And the begetter and whom he begot |
4. | Certainly We have created man to be in distress |
S. | Does he think that no one has power over him? |
6. | He shall say: I have wasted much wealth |
7. | Does he think that no one sees him? |
8. | Have We not given him two eyes, |
9. | And a tongue and two lips, |
10. | And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways? |
11. | But he would not attempt the uphill road, |
12. | And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is? |
13. | (It is) the setting free of a slave, |
14. | Or the giving of food in a day of hunger |
15. | To an orphan, having relationship, |
16. | Or to the poor man lying in the dust |
17. | Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion. |
18. | These are the people of the right hand |
19. | And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand. |
20. | On them is fire closed over |
