In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

I do call to witness this City;- (1)

And thou art a freeman of this City;- (2)

And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;- (3)

Verily We have created man into toil and struggle. (4)

Thinketh he, that none hath power over him? (5)

He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance! (6)

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? (7)

Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?- (8)

And a tongue, and a pair of lips?- (9)

And shown him the two highways? (10)
