بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ
May both the hands of Abu Lahab be destroyed – and they are destroyed!
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ
His wealth did not benefit him in the least, nor did whatever he earned.
سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ
He will soon enter the flaming fire.
وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ
And so will his wife; carrying a bundle of firewood on her head.
فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ
A rope made from palm fibre around her neck!
