Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he! 1 What will his wealth avail him, and all that he has gained? 2 Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame! 3 together with his wife, that carrier of evil tales, 4 A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck! 5
