تَبَّتۡ يَدَآ أَبِي لَهَبࣲ وَتَبَّ ﴿1﴾

ابولہب کے ہاتھ ٹوٹیں اور وہ ہلاک ہو

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ ﴿2﴾

نہ تو اس کا مال ہی اس کے کچھ کام آیا اور نہ وہ جو اس نے کمایا

سَيَصۡلَىٰ نَارࣰ ا ذَاتَ لَهَبࣲ‏ ﴿3﴾

وہ جلد بھڑکتی ہوئی آگ میں داخل ہو گا

4

وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلۡحَطَبِ ﴿4﴾

اور اس کی جورو بھی جو ایندھن سر پر اٹھائے پھرتی ہے

5

فِي جِيدِهَا حَبۡلࣱ مِّن مَّسَدِۭ ﴿5﴾

اس کے گلے میں مونج کی رسّی ہو گی
