1. O owner of good, upon you be peace
An old man came to you, the most misguided of people

2. So stoke the fire and open its doors for him
And allow him the honor of standing

3. And put him behind the coffin
With Satan walking barefoot in gloom beside him

4. And tell him to choose within himself
A house, and adorn it with deceit and blame

5. And parade him as scorpions dance around him
Like luck or ostriches

6. And tell the people of the fire to shelter him
For he is the imam for those who established sins

7. Until when he completes a thousand years, O Malik
Of eternity in its depths

8. Then command him to exit it, even if unwilling
From it to eternity and the abode of peace
