۟ۙ

I swear by this city,
۟ۙ
-and (O Prophet,) you are going to be allowed (to fight) in this city-
۟ۙ
and by the father and all those he begot,
۟ؕ
indeed We have created man (to live) in hard struggle.
۟ۘ
Does he think that no one has power over him?
۟ؕ
He says, “I have spent a lot of wealth.”
۟ؕ
Does he think that no one has seen him?
۟ۙ
Did We not make for him two eyes,
۟ۙ
and one tongue and two lips,
۟ۚ
and showed him the two ways?
۟ؗۖ
Yet he did not make his way through the steep course,- -
۟ؕ
- And what may let you know what the steep course is?
۟ۙ
(It is) freeing of the neck of a slave,
۟ۙ
or giving food in a day of hunger
۟ۙ
to an orphan near of kin,
۟ؕ
or to a needy person lying in dust- -
۟ؕ
- then he did not join those who believe and advise each other to be patient and advise each other to be merciful.
