O evil person! May you come to an evil end! O sinful soul! You have put up obstructions on all sides against the Beloved to come out. O black faced fellow! May you perish in your agony (caused by your failure)!
Note: Possibly the reference is (a) to the seige of the Prophet’s house on the night of his migration to Madina. It was organised by Abu Jahal. It was, however, abortive; (or) (b) the allusion may be to Abu Lahab who used to harass the Prophet - his own nephew in a number of ways. His behaviour with the Prophet was so scandalously bad that even Allah cursed him:
Perished be the two hands of Abu Lahab, and he will perish. (1, Al-Lahab).
or (c) the reference may be to the expression of Satan as reproduced in the following Quranic verse:
Satan said: Since you (Allah) have adjudged me as lost, I hereby swear to you that I shall sit on the straight road against them (i.e. the human beings) and then I shall assail them from their front, from their rear, from their right and from their left”. (16, and 17, AI-Siraf).
