Sura Cxi. Lahab, Or Flame

*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

p. 1804

Sra Cxi.

\"LAHAB," Or (the Father Of) Flame.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

1.
Perish the hands

Of the Father of Flame!

Perish he!

2.
No profit to him

From all his wealth,

And all his gains!

3.
Burnt soon will he be

In a Fire

Of blazing Flame!

4.
His wife shall carry

The (crackling) wood--

As fuel!--

5. A
twisted rope

Of palm-leaf fibre

Round her (own) neck!
