1 . Nay , I swear by this city
2 . And thou art an indweller of this city
3 . And the begetter and that which he begat ,
4 . We verily have created man in an atmosphere :
5 . Thinketh he that none hath power over him?
6 . And he saith : I have destroyed vast wealth :
7 . Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?
8 . Did We not assign unto him two eyes
9 . And a tongue and two lips ,
10 . And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways?
11 . But he hath not attempted the Ascent
12 . Ah , what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is!
13 . ( It is ) to free a slave ,
14 . And to feed in the day of hunger
15 . An orphan near of kin ,
16 . Or some poor wretch in misery ,
17 . And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and export one another to pity .
18 . Their place will be on the right hand .
19 . But those who disbelieve Our revelations , their place will be on the left hand .
20 . Fire will be an awning over them .
