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