سُورَةُ البَلَدِ
Al-Balad
"The City"
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful"
1"I swear by this city, Makkah -"
لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ
3"And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],"
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
5"Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?"
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ
7"Does he think that no one has seen him?"
أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
9"And a tongue and two lips?"
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
2"And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city -"
وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ
4"We have certainly created man into hardship."
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ
6"He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance.""
يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًا لُبَدًا
8"Have We not made for him two eyes?"
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
10"And have shown him the two ways?"
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
