أَلَم نَجعَل لَهُ عَينَينِ
Have We not made for him two eyes?
وَلِسانًا وَشَفَتَينِ
And a tongue and two lips?
وَهَدَيناهُ النَّجدَينِ
And have shown him the two ways?
فَلَا اقتَحَمَ العَقَبَةَ
But he has not broken through the difficult pass.
وَما أَدراكَ مَا العَقَبَةُ
And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass?
أَو إِطعامٌ في يَومٍ ذي مَسغَبَةٍ
Or feeding on a day of severe hunger
يَتيمًا ذا مَقرَبَةٍ
An orphan of near relationship
أَو مِسكينًا ذا مَترَبَةٍ
Or a needy person in misery
ثُمَّ كانَ مِنَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَتَواصَوا بِالصَّبرِ وَتَواصَوا بِالمَرحَمَةِ
And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion.
أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ المَيمَنَةِ
Those are the companions of the right.
