Al-Balad

La oqsimu bihatha albaladi

I swear by this city, Makkah

Waanta hillun bihatha albaladi

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

Wawalidin wama walada

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

Laqad khalaqna alinsana fee kabadin

We have certainly created man into hardship

Ayahsabu an lan yaqdira AAalayhi ahadun

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him

Yaqoolu ahlaktu malan lubadan

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance

Ayahsabu an lam yarahu ahadun

Does he think that no one has seen him

Alam najAAal lahu AAaynayni

Have We not made for him two eyes

Walisanan washafatayni

And a tongue and two lips

Wahadaynahu alnnajdayni

And have shown him the two ways

Fala iqtahama alAAaqabata

But he has not broken through the difficult pass

Wama adraka ma alAAaqabatu

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

Fakku raqabatin

It is the freeing of a slave

Aw itAAamun fee yawmin thee masghabatin

Or feeding on a day of severe hunger

Yateeman tha maqrabatin

An orphan of near relationship

Aw miskeenan tha matrabatin

Or a needy person in misery

Thumma kana mina allatheena amanoo watawasaw bialssabri watawasaw bialmarhamati

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

Olaika ashabu almaymanati

Those are the companions of the right

Waallatheena kafaroo biayatina hum ashabu almashamati

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

AAalayhim narun musadatun

Over them will be fire closed in
