1

I swear by this city, Makkah

2

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city

3

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]

4

We have certainly created man into hardship

5

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him

6

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance

7

Does he think that no one has seen him

8

Have We not made for him two eyes

9

And a tongue and two lips

10

And have shown him the two ways

11

But he has not broken through the difficult pass

12

And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass

13

It is the freeing of a slave

14

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

15

An orphan of near relationship

16

Or a needy person in misery

17

And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion

18

Those are the companions of the right

19

But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left

20

Over them will be fire closed in
