لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ ﴿١﴾

90:1I swear by this city, Makkah

وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ ﴿٢﴾

90:2And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city

وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ ﴿٣﴾

90:3And [by] the father and that which was born [of him]

لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ ﴿٤﴾

90:4We have certainly created man into hardship

أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ ﴿٥﴾

90:5Does he think that never will anyone overcome him

يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا ﴿٦﴾

90:6He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance

أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ﴿٧﴾

90:7Does he think that no one has seen him

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ ﴿٨﴾

90:8Have We not made for him two eyes

وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ ﴿٩﴾

90:9And a tongue and two lips

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ ﴿١٠﴾

90:10And have shown him the two ways

فَلَا ٱقۡتَحَمَ ٱلۡعَقَبَةَ ﴿١١﴾

90:11But he has not broken through the difficult pass

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡعَقَبَةُ ﴿١٢﴾

90:12And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ﴿١٣﴾

90:13It is the freeing of a slave

أَوۡ إِطۡعَٰمٞ فِي يَوۡمٖ ذِي مَسۡغَبَةٖ ﴿١٤﴾

90:14Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

يَتِيمٗا ذَا مَقۡرَبَةٍ ﴿١٥﴾

90:15An orphan of near relationship

أَوۡ مِسۡكِينٗا ذَا مَتۡرَبَةٖ ﴿١٦﴾

90:16Or a needy person in misery

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلۡمَرۡحَمَةِ ﴿١٧﴾

90:17And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ ﴿١٨﴾

90:18Those are the companions of the right

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡمَشۡـَٔمَةِ ﴿١٩﴾

90:19But they who disbelieved in Our signs - those are the companions of the left

عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَارٞ مُّؤۡصَدَةُۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

90:20Over them will be fire closed in
