| 1. * | No! I swear by this land, |
| 2. * | and thou art a lodger in this land; |
| 3. * | by the begetter, and that he begot, |

| 5. * | What, does he think none has power over him, |
| 6. * | saying, 'I have consumed wealth abundant'? |
| 7. * | What, does he think none has seen him? |
| 8. * | Have We not appointed to him two eyes, |
| 9. * | and a tongue, and two lips, |
| 10. * | and guided him on the two highways? |
| 11. * | Yet he has not assaulted the steep; |
| 12. * | and what shall teach thee what is the steep? |
| 13. * | The freeing of a slave, |
| 14. * | or giving food upon a day of hunger |
| 15. * | to an orphan near of kin |
| 16. * | or a needy man in misery; |
| 17. * | then that he become of those who believe and counsel each other to be steadfast, and counsel each other to be merciful. |
| 18. * | Those are the Companions of the Right Hand. |
| 19. * | And those who disbelieve in Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left Hand; |
| 20. * | over them is a Fire covered down. |
