البلد

I swear by this city [i.e., Makkah] –

And you, [O Muḥammad], are free of restriction in this city –

And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],

We have certainly created man into hardship.

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance."

Does he think that no one has seen him?

Have We not made for him two eyes?

And a tongue and two lips?

And have shown him the two ways?
