١ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ
Wat-teeni waz-zaytoon
By the fig and the olive,
٢ وَطُورِ سِينِينَ
Wa toori seeneen
And by Mount Sinai,
٣ وَهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ
Wa haadhal-baladil-ameen
And by this secure city [Makkah],
٤ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
Laqad khalaqnal-insaana fee ahsani taqweem
We have certainly created man in the best of stature.
٥ ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَاهُ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِينَ
Thumma radadnaahu asfala saafileen
Then We return him to the lowest of the low,
٦ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
Illal-ladheena aamanoo wa 'amilus-saalihaati falahum ajrun ghayru mamnoon
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds, for they will have a reward uninterrupted.
٧ فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ بَعْدُ بِالدِّينِ
Famaa yukadhdhibuka ba'du bid-deen
So what yet causes you to deny the Recompense?
٨ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ
Alaysal-laahu bi-ahkamil-haakimeen
Is not Allah the most just of judges?
