تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ 1
Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he!
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ 2
No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains!
سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ 3
Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame!
وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ 4
His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood - As fuel!-
فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ 5
A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!
