Al-Balad
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ
I swear by this city,
وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ
-and (O Prophet,) you are going to be allowed (to fight) in this city-
وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ
and by the father and all those he begot,
لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ
indeed We have created man (to live) in hard struggle.
أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ
Does he think that no one has power over him?
يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا
He says, “I have spent a lot of wealth.”
أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
Does he think that no one has seen him?
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ
Did We not make for him two eyes,
وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ
and one tongue and two lips,
وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ
and showed him the two ways?
