Surah “The Fame”

as rendered by Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) — 5 verses

Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he
No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains
Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame
His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood - As fuel!
A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck
