Translation |
| 090.001. I do call to witness this City;- |
090.001. Nay, I swear by this city - |
| 090.002. And thou art a freeman of this City;- |
090.002. And thou art an indweller of this city - |
| 090.003. And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;- |
090.003. And the begetter and that which he begat, |
| 090.004. Verily We have created man into toil and struggle. |
090.004. We verily have created man in an atmosphere: |
| 090.005. Thinketh he, that none hath power over him? |
090.005. Thinketh he that none hath power over him ? |
| 090.006. He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance! |
090.006. And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth: |
| 090.007. Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? |
090.007. Thinketh he that none beholdeth him ? |
| 090.008. Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?- |
090.008. Did We not assign unto him two eyes |
| 090.009. And a tongue, and a pair of lips?- |
090.009. And a tongue and two lips, |
| 090.010. And shown him the two highways? |
090.010. And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways ? |
