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