Beled Sûresi Wahiduddin Khan Meâli

I swear by this city -- ﴾ 1 ﴿
and you are dwelling in this city -- ﴾ 2 ﴿
and by parent and offspring, ﴾ 3 ﴿
that We have created man into a life of toil and trial. ﴾ 4 ﴿
Does he think then that no one has power over him? ﴾ 5 ﴿
He says, "I have spent enormous wealth." ﴾ 6 ﴿
Does he then think that no one sees him? ﴾ 7 ﴿
Have We not given him two eyes, ﴾ 8 ﴿
and a tongue, and a pair of lips, ﴾ 9 ﴿
and shown him the two paths? ﴾ 10 ﴿
But he has not attempted the ascent. ﴾ 11 ﴿
What will explain to you what the ascent is? ﴾ 12 ﴿
It is the freeing of a slave; ﴾ 13 ﴿
or the feeding in times of famine ﴾ 14 ﴿
of an orphaned relative ﴾ 15 ﴿
or some needy person in distress, ﴾ 16 ﴿
and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion. ﴾ 17 ﴿
Those who do so are the people of the right hand, ﴾ 18 ﴿
and [as for] those who are bent on denying the truth of Our revelations, they are the people of the left hand, ﴾ 19 ﴿
and the Fire will close in on them. ﴾ 20 ﴿
