Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir
 
Sura 90 Aya 1 to 20
 
  1   [ 90: 1 ] Nay! I swear by this city.
  2   [ 90: 2 ] And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--
  3   [ 90: 3 ] And the begetter and whom he begot.
  4   [ 90: 4 ] Certainly We have created man to be in distress.
  5   [ 90: 5 ] Does he think that no one has power over him?
  6   [ 90: 6 ] He shall say: I have wasted much wealth.
  7   [ 90: 7 ] Does he think that no one sees him?
  8   [ 90: 8 ] Have We not given him two eyes,
  9   [ 90: 9 ] And a tongue and two lips,
  10   [ 90: 10 ] And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways?
  11   [ 90: 11 ] But he would not attempt the uphill road,
  12   [ 90: 12 ] And what will make you comprehend what the uphill road is?
  13   [ 90: 13 ] ( It is ) the setting free of a slave,
  14   [ 90: 14 ] Or the giving of food in a day of hunger
  15   [ 90: 15 ] To an orphan, having relationship,
  16   [ 90: 16 ] Or to the poor man lying in the dust.
  17   [ 90: 17 ] Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.
  18   [ 90: 18 ] These are the people of the right hand.
  19   [ 90: 19 ] And ( as for ) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand.
  20   [ 90: 20 ] On them is fire closed over.
