1. Say to the neighbor of the riverbank, what is this filth?
This is the Tigris, so take off your clothes and get down

2. And wash yourself, for its water is permitted
It is not prohibited on a dirty body

3. And let the water endure our weight
You were in it and got out of it stripped bare

4. It is no shame for you to see it turbid
For you, while the reeds are of the arid desert

5. It was exposed to continuous rain
That spews poison when the rain pours down

6. There is no blame on the sailor when we judge fairly
And seek the truth when it is said, seek

7. I said when I saw him celebrating
To the young lad, oh the humiliation of the old man

8. How many supplications have we been deaf to
When we saw what was being cooked in them

9. Fish that captivates whoever sees it
And a drink that fills the stomach with air

10. A dwelling in which there are traps for the mother deer
A partnership that buries in the dust and traps

11. Finding the drink in it, if they succeed
A narcissus that died and basil that withered

12. And a sea son whose armor of beauty settled
In the salt for ages and took root

13. And a gazelle that captures the heart
So when one sees it, it cheers the soul

14. The lover comes out of it destitute
With no sturdy bone left in his body

15. He stroked his bald head
And the temples, and increase if he becomes senile

16. So when its fires flare up
Rub both ears to subdue and extinguish it
