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