تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍۢ وَتَبَّ1
Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he!
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ2
No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains!
سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًۭا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍۢ3
Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame!
وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ4
His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood - As fuel!-
فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌۭ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ5
A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!
