Al-Balad


لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

Nay, I swear by this city -


وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

And thou art an indweller of this city -


وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ

And the begetter and that which he begat,


لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ

We verily have created man in an atmosphere:


أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ

Thinketh he that none hath power over him?


يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا

And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth:


أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?


أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ

Did We not assign unto him two eyes


وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ

And a tongue and two lips,


وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ

And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways?
