إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
inna l-insāna lafī khus'rin
Indeed, mankind is in loss,
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti watawāṣaw bil-ḥaqi watawāṣaw bil-ṣabri
Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
