| 90:1 | | I (reference is to Allah) do swear by this City (of Makkah) | | 90:2 | | That you (O Prophet!) are a free-man of this City | | 90:3 | | And (with the ties of) parent and child | | 90:4 | | Surely, We have created man into hard work and struggle | | 90:5 | | Does he think, that no one has power over him | | 90:6 | | He may (wrongly) say: "I have wasted away a lot of wealth!" | | 90:7 | | Does he think that no one oversees him | | 90:8 | | Have We not made a pair of eyes for him | | 90:9 | | And a tongue and a pair of lips | | 90:10 | | And shown him the two highways? (The right and the wrong | | 90:11 | | But he has made no haste for the path that is hard | | 90:12 | | And what will explain to you the path that is hard | | 90:13 | | (It is) freeing the slave | | 90:14 | | Or the giving of food in a day of want (and suffering) | | 90:15 | | To the orphan with claims of relationship | | 90:16 | | Or to the needy one (down) in the dust | | 90:17 | | Then will he be (one) of those who believe and practices patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and practices acts of kindness and compassion | | 90:18 | | Such are the companions of the right hand | | 90:19 | | But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) companions of the left hand | | 90:20 | | On them will be the Fire covering over (all around) |
