Al-Balad


لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

No! I swear by this country, - (Or: city)


وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

And you (i.e., the Prophet) are an inhabitant of this country.


وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ

And (I swear) (by) the begetter and what he begot.


لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ

Indeed We already created man in suffering.


أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ

Does he reckon that no one can ever determine over him?


يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا

He says, "I have consumed stacked wealth."


أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

Does he reckon that none has seen him?


أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ

Have We not made for him two eyes,


وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ

And a tongue, and two lips,


وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ

And guided him on the two highways (of good and evil)?
