بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ

Perdition overtake both hands of Abu Lahab, and he will perish.

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ

His wealth and what he earns will not avail him.

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ

He shall soon burn in fire that flames,

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ

And his wife, the bearer of fuel,

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ

Upon her neck a halter of strongly twisted rope.
