Thorns · al-Masad · سورة المسد · 5 ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ

May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, may he be ruined.

مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ

Neither his wealth nor his gains will avail him.

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ

He shall soon enter a Blazing Fire,

وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ

and also his wife who carries the fuel,

فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ

with a rope of twisted fibre round her neck.
