90. Beled · verses 5–11

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?-

وَهَدَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ

Wahadaynahu alnnajdayni

And shown him the two highways?

فَلَا ٱقۡتَحَمَ ٱلۡعَقَبَةَ

Fala iqtahama alAAaqabata

But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.
