سُورَةُ البَلَدِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ

I swear by this city, Makkah -

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ

And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ

We have certainly created man into hardship.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

Does he think that no one has seen him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ

Have We not made for him two eyes?

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ

And a tongue and two lips?

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ

And have shown him the two ways?
