I swear by this city.
And you are entitled to this city.
And by the father and his child,
We created man in (a state of) suffering.
Does man count on nobody having power over him?
He says: I have blown lots of money.
Does he count on nobody having seen him?
Did We not give him two eyes,
And a tongue and two lips,
And guided him the two pathways.
But he did not embark on the steep path.
And how do you know what the steep path is?
The setting free of a slave,
Or feeding on a day of famine,
Of an orphan from amongst relatives,
Or someone poor from amongst the destitute,
Then to be of those who believe and encourage each other to patience and encourage each other to mercy.
Those are the companions of the right.
And those who reject Our signs, they are the companions of the left.
A fire will close in on them.
