I swear by this city, Makkah -
لَاۤ اُقْسِمُ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -
وَاَنْتَ حِلٌّ ۢ بِهٰذَا الْبَلَدِۙ

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
وَوَالِدٍ وَّمَا وَلَدَ ۙ

We have certainly created man into hardship.
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ فِىْ كَبَدٍۗ

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?
اَيَحْسَبُ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ اَحَدٌ ۘ

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
يَقُوْلُ اَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ۗ

Does he think that no one has seen him?
اَيَحْسَبُ اَنْ لَّمْ يَرَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ۗ

Have We not made for him two eyes?
اَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ عَيْنَيْنِۙ

And a tongue and two lips?
وَلِسَانًا وَّشَفَتَيْنِۙ

And have shown him the two ways?
وَهَدَيْنٰهُ النَّجْدَيْنِۚ

But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَۖ

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
وَمَاۤ اَدْرٰٮكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ۗ

It is the freeing of a slave
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۙ

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
اَوْ اِطْعٰمٌ فِىْ يَوْمٍ ذِىْ مَسْغَبَةٍ ۙ

An orphan of near relationship
يَّتِيْمًا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۙ

Or a needy person in misery
اَوْ مِسْكِيْنًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ ۗ

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْمَرْحَمَةِ ۗ

Those are the companions of the right.
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ۗ

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.
وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔـمَةِ ۗ

Over them will be fire closed in.
عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌ مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
