1. The head of Abu Hafs is of great benefit
How many hands have derived pleasure from it

2. If I lost it, I would cry with four laments
And without it I would become disconsolate

3. Time has exposed his head until it cracked it
Leaving no hair on its sides

4. As if it had cracked it only to slap it
That square turban belongs to God

5. When it appears like an engraved fez
Polished, glazed, and manufactured

6. Then a hand like a funnel falls on it
With a tremendous, blinding slap

7. As if it were an exploding balloon
Oh, if only I had a stick to deceive him

8. A king whose hand was by the grace of the Lord of bounty
Rather, I wish I could hear that knocking sound

9. Above my hearing and hearing range
