بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ لَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِہٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ ۙ﴿۱﴾ وَ اَنۡتَ حِلٌّۢ بِہٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ ۙ﴿۲﴾ وَ وَالِدٍ وَّ مَا وَلَدَ ۙ﴿۳﴾ لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِیۡ کَبَدٍ ؕ﴿۴﴾ اَیَحۡسَبُ اَنۡ لَّنۡ یَّقۡدِرَ عَلَیۡہِ اَحَدٌ ۘ﴿۵﴾ یَقُوۡلُ اَہۡلَکۡتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا ؕ﴿۶﴾ اَیَحۡسَبُ اَنۡ لَّمۡ یَرَہٗۤ اَحَدٌ ؕ﴿۷﴾ اَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلۡ لَّہٗ عَیۡنَیۡنِ ۙ﴿۸﴾ وَ لِسَانًا وَّ شَفَتَیۡنِ ۙ﴿۹﴾ وَ ہَدَیۡنٰہُ النَّجۡدَیۡنِ ﴿ۚ۱۰﴾ فَلَا اقۡتَحَمَ الۡعَقَبَۃَ ﴿۱۱﴾۫ ۖ وَ مَاۤ اَدۡرٰىکَ مَا الۡعَقَبَۃُ ﴿ؕ۱۲﴾ فَکُّ رَقَبَۃٍ ﴿ۙ۱۳﴾ اَوۡ اِطۡعٰمٌ فِیۡ یَوۡمٍ ذِیۡ مَسۡغَبَۃٍ ﴿ۙ۱۴﴾ یَّتِیۡمًا ذَا مَقۡرَبَۃٍ ﴿ۙ۱۵﴾ اَوۡ مِسۡکِیۡنًا ذَا مَتۡرَبَۃٍ ﴿ؕ۱۶﴾ ثُمَّ کَانَ مِنَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ تَوَاصَوۡا بِالصَّبۡرِ وَ تَوَاصَوۡا بِالۡمَرۡحَمَۃِ ﴿ؕ۱۷﴾ اُولٰٓئِکَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَیۡمَنَۃِ ﴿ؕ۱۸﴾ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ہُمۡ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡمَشۡئَمَۃِ ﴿ؕ۱۹﴾ عَلَیۡہِمۡ نَارٌ مُّؤۡصَدَۃٌ ﴿۲۰﴾٪
—In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
1I swear by this city, Makkah -
2And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -
3And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
4We have certainly created man into hardship.
5Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?
6He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
7Does he think that no one has seen him?
8Have We not made for him two eyes?
9And a tongue and two lips?
10And have shown him the two ways?
11But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
12And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
13It is the freeing of a slave
14Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
15An orphan of near relationship
16Or a needy person in misery
17And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
18Those are the companions of the right.
19But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left.
20Over them will be fire closed in.
