90. Beled · verses 2–9

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?

يَقُولُ أَهۡلَكۡتُ مَالٗا لُّبَدًا

Yaqoolu ahlaktu malan lubadan

He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!

أَيَحۡسَبُ أَن لَّمۡ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

Ayahsabu an lam yarahu ahadun

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ

Alam najAAal lahu AAaynayni

Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

وَلِسَانٗا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ

Walisanan washafatayni

And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-
