90:1  I swear by (Laa' Uq'simu Bi) this (Haaza) land (El'Balad)*;

90:2  and (Wa) you (s) (An'ta), will be free (Hillu) in (Bi) this (Haaza) land (El'Balad),

90:3  and so (Wa) is the male parent (Waalidin) and that which (Maa) is begotten (Walad).

90:4  We have certainly (Laqad') created (Khalaq'naa) the human being (El' Insaana) into (Fii) suffering (Kabad).

90:5  Does (A-) he think (-yah'sabu) that (An) no (Lan) one (Ahadu) made it possible for him (Yaq'dira Älai'hi)?

90:6  He says (Yaquulu), "I have wasted (Ah'lakatu) bundle (Lubadaa) of wealth (Maalan)."

90:7  Does (A-) he think (-yah'sabu) that (An) no (Lam') one (Ahadu) sees him (Yara-hu)? (57:4)

90:8  Have We not (Alam') granted him (Naj'äla Lahu) two eyes (Äi'nai'n)?

90:9  And (Wa) a tongue (Lisaanan) and (Wa) two lips (Shafatai'n)?

90:10  And (Wa) We led him to (Hadai'naa-hu) the two elevations (En'Naj'dai'n)?

90:11  But (Fa) he has not (Laa) broken through (Eq'tahama) the obstacle (El'Äqaba').

90:12  And (Wa) what (Maa) will make you (s) know (Ad'raa-ka) what (Maa) is the obstacle (El'Äqaba')?

90:13  Freeing (Fakku) of a slave (Raqabat')

90:14  or (Aw') feeding (It'äämun) on (during) (Fii) a day (a period) (Yaw'min) of (Zii) famine (Mas'gabat');

90:15  an orphan (Yatiimaan) who (Zaa) is nearby (Maq'rabat')

90:16  or (Aw') a poor person (Mis'kiinan) with (Zaa) poverty (Mat'rabat'), 1

90:17  and then (Thumma) to be (Kaana) among (Mina) those who (Ellaziina) believe (Aamanu') and (Wa) hand-down (Tawaasow') with (Bi) patience (Es'Sob'ri) and hand-down (Tawaasow') with (Bi) mercifulness (El'Mar'hama'). 2

90:18  Those (U'laa'ika) are the companions (As'haabu) of the right side (Mai'mana').

90:19  As for (Wa) those who (Ellaziina) disbelieved (Kafaru') in (Bi) Our verses (Aayaati-naa), they (Hum) are the companions (As'haabu) of the left side (El'Mash-ama').

90:20  The fire (Naarun) will be shut (Mu'sodat') against them (Älai'him’).
