| 1. * | Nay, I swear by this city - |
| 2. * | And thou art an indweller of this city - |
| 3. * | And the begetter and that which he begat, |
| 4. * | We verily have created man in an atmosphere: |
| 5. * | Thinketh he that none hath power over him? |
| 6. * | And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth: |
| 7. * | Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? |
| 8. * | Did We not assign unto him two eyes |
| 9. * | And a tongue and two lips, |
| 10. * | And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways? |
| 11. * | But he hath not attempted the Ascent - |
| 12. * | Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is! - |
| 13. * | (It is) to free a slave, |
| 14. * | And to feed in the day of hunger. |
| 15. * | An orphan near of kin, |
| 16. * | Or some poor wretch in misery, |
| 17. * | And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and exhort one another to pity. |
| 18. * | Their place will be on the right hand. |
| 19. * | But those who disbelieve Our revelations, their place will be on the left hand. |
| 20. * | Fire will be an awning over them. |
