لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

La oqsimu bihatha albaladi

I do call to witness this City;-

وَأَنتَ حِلُّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡبَلَدِ

Waanta hillun bihatha albaladi

And thou art a freeman of this City;-

وَوَالِدٖ وَمَا وَلَدَ

Wawalidin wama walada

And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;-

لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ فِي كَبَدٍ

Laqad khalaqna alinsana fee kabadin

Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.

أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ أَحَدٞ

Ayahsabu an lan yaqdira AAalayhi ahadun

Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?
