The Man Gone to Perdition
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
May the twofold power to act of the Father of the Flame go to perdition, and he himself has gone to perdition.
تبت يدا ابي لهب وتب
His goods and what he acquired have availed him nothing.
ما اغنى عنه ماله وما كسب
He will burn in a fire of flame, and his wife as well,
سيصلى نارا ذات لهب وامراته
the one who ceaselessly carries the firewood, a rope of twisted fiber around her throat.
حمالة الحطب في جيدها حبل من مسد
