المسد

تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ ١

Tabbat yadā abī lahabin watabba

May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined! May he be ruined too!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ ٢

Mā aghnā ʿanhu māluhu wamā kasaba

Neither his wealth nor his gains will help him:

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ ٣

Sayaṣlā nāran dhāta lahabin

He will burn in the Flaming Fire––

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ ٤

Wa-im'ra-atuhu ḥammālata l-ḥaṭabi

And so will his wife, the firewood-carrier,

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ ٥

Fī jīdihā ḥablun min masadin

With a palm-fibre rope around her neck.
