In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Nay! I swear by this city (1)

And you shall be made free from obligation in this city-- (2)

And the begetter and whom he begot (3)

Certainly We have created man to be in distress (4)

Does he think that no one has power over him? (5)

He shall say: I have wasted much wealth (6)

Does he think that no one sees him? (7)

Have We not given him two eyes, (8)

And a tongue and two lips, (9)

And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways? (10)
