بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمـٰنِ الرَّحيمِ لا أُقسِمُ بِهـٰذَا البَلَدِ
Nay, I swear by this city.
وَأَنتَ حِلٌّ بِهـٰذَا البَلَدِ
And you are a dweller in this city.
وَوالِدٍ وَما وَلَدَ
And by a parent and what he fathered.
أَيَحسَبُ أَن لَن يَقدِرَ عَلَيهِ أَحَدٌ
Does he think that no one can overpower him?
يَقولُ أَهلَكتُ مالًا لُبَدًا
He boasts, “I have squandered a great wealth.”
أَيَحسَبُ أَن لَم يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ
Does he think that none sees him?
أَلَم نَجعَل لَهُ عَينَينِ
Didn’t We give him two eyes?
وَلِسانًا وَشَفَتَينِ
And a tongue and two lips?
