| 90:1 | | I do call to witness this City; | | 90:2 | | And thou art a freeman of this City; | | 90:3 | | And (the mystic ties of) parent and child; | | 90:4 | | Verily We have created man into toil and struggle | | 90:5 | | Thinketh he, that none hath power over him | | 90:6 | | He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance | | 90:7 | | Thinketh he that none beholdeth him | | 90:8 | | Have We not made for him a pair of eyes? | | 90:9 | | And a tongue, and a pair of lips? | | 90:10 | | And shown him the two highways | | 90:11 | | But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep | | 90:12 | | And what will explain to thee the path that is steep? | | 90:13 | | (It is:) freeing the bondman | | 90:14 | | Or the giving of food in a day of privatio | | 90:15 | | To the orphan with claims of relationship | | 90:16 | | Or to the indigent (down) in the dust | | 90:17 | | Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds 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 Fire vaulted over (all round) |
