لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ

Laaa uqsimu bihaazal balad

I swear by this city, Makkah -

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ

Wa anta hillum bihaazal balad

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

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ

Wa waalidinw wa maa walad

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

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ

Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee kabad

We have certainly created man into hardship.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ

Ayahsabu al-lai yaqdira 'alaihi ahad

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا

Yaqoolu ahlaktu maalal lubadaa

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

Ayahsabu al lam yarahooo ahad

Does he think that no one has seen him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ

Alam naj'al lahoo 'aynayn

Have We not made for him two eyes?

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ

Wa lisaananw wa shafatayn

And a tongue and two lips?

وَهَدَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ

Wa hadaynaahun najdayn

And have shown him the two ways?
