Surah 111

PALM FIBER, THE FLAME

Trans. Abdullah Yusuf Ali

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 fiber round her (own) neck!
