[6] He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.
[7] Does he think that no one sees him?

[9] And a tongue and two lips,
[10] And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
[11] But he would not attempt the uphill road,
[12] And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?
[13] (It is) the setting free of a slave,
[14] Or the giving of food in a day of hunger
[15] To an orphan, having relationship,
[16] Or to the poor man lying in the dust.

[19] And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.
[20] On them is fire closed over.
