بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ
Laaa uqsimu bihaazal balad
I swear by this city, Makkah -
وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ
Wa anta hillum bihaazal balad
And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
Wa waalidinw wa maa walad
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee kabad
We have certainly created man into hardship.
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
Ayahsabu al-lai yaqdira 'alaihi ahad
Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُّبَدًا
Yaqoolu ahlaktu maalal lubadaa
He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
Ayahsabu al lam yarahooo ahad
Does he think that no one has seen him?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
Alam naj'al lahoo 'aynayn
Have We not made for him two eyes?
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
Wa lisaananw wa shafatayn
And a tongue and two lips?
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
Wa hadaynaahun najdayn
And have shown him the two ways?
