تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ (1)

DOOMED are the hands of him of the glowing countence: and doomed is he!

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ (2)

What will his wealth avail him, and all that he has gained?

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ (3)

[In the life to come] he shall have to endure a fire fiercely glowing;

وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ (4)

together with his wife, that carrier of evil tales,

فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ (5)

[who bears] around her neck a rope of twisted strands!
