| تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ (1) Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, (the instruments of his cruel actions against those who recognized Allah) and likewise perish he |
| مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ (2) Neither his wealth nor all his gains will save him from what awaits him of retributive punishment |
| سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ (3) He shall suffer the blazing fire which emits mountainous flames |
| وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ (4) Along with his slanderous wife who carried bundles of thorny wood (and laid them in the Prophet’s path to cause him bodily injury and to render his mission vain) |
| فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍ (5) She shall be necklaced with a similar twisted rope to double her torment and augment her pain |
