يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ

It is the fire of Allāh, [eternally] fueled,

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ

In extended columns.

إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ

Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muḥammad], al-Kawthar.

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ

Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.
