بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ
I swear by this city, Makkah
وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ
And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city
وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]
لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ
We have certainly created man into hardship
أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ
Does he think that never will anyone overcome him
يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا
He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance
أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Does he think that no one has seen him
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ
Have We not made for him two eyes
وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ
And a tongue and two lips
وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ
And have shown him the two ways
