Some of the single quote characters in your class file are invalid --- perhaps because you copied and pasted the code from somewhere else. I've had this happen many times before when I've copied code from elsewhere. Starting with the quotes in: mailcontent ='Thanks For contacting Us ' ; , i'd delete the single quotes, retype them, and resave your file. Repeat for all single quotes (or do a find and replace).

Are you sure? I'm not getting any error meesage while saving this code in my org. I made couple of changes in your code,

1. You are storing trigger.new in List variable and then you are using that in your for loop. Instead you can directly use the trigger.New in the for looping which will helps to reduce the heap size in the execution.

2. You are sending email inside the for loop by which you will easily hit an number of email governor limit.

Try th updated code below 
trigger FireMail on Lead__c (after insert,after update) {

    string mailcontent ;    
 List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> theEmails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> ();
    for(lead__c ld :  trigger.new){
    
        string nm = ld.name ;
        string EmailId = ld.Email_Id__c ;
        
        if(EmailId != null){
            
         mailcontent ='Thanks For contacting Us ' ;           
         Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
         string [] toaddress= New string[]{EmailId};
          email.setSubject('Thanks for Contacting .');
          email.setPlainTextBody(mailcontent);
          email.setToAddresses(toaddress);
theEmails.add(email);
        
        
        } 
    }
if(theEmails.size > 0)
   Messaging.sendEmail(theEmails);
}
