[90:1] Nay! I swear by this city.

[90:2] And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--

[90:3] And the begetter and whom he begot.

[90:4] Certainly We have created man to be in distress.

[90:5] Does he think that no one has power over him?

[90:6] He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.

[90:7] Does he think that no one sees him?

[90:8] Have We not given him two eyes,

[90:9] And a tongue and two lips,

[90:10] And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?

[90:11] But he would not attempt the uphill road,

[90:12] And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?

[90:13] (It is) the setting free of a slave,

[90:14] Or the giving of food in a day of hunger

[90:15] To an orphan, having relationship,

[90:16] Or to the poor man lying in the dust.

[90:17] Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.

[90:18] These are the people of the right hand.

[90:19] And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.

[90:20] On them is fire closed over.
