An old man cleaning his gums

وشيخ ينظف أعفاجه

1. An old man cleaning his gums
He has a blond tent

١. وِشيخ يُنظِّف أعفاجَه
غُلام له حادرٌ أشقرُ

2. His mustache is like his palate
And if I said his mustache is cleaner

٢. فمَبْعرُهُ مثلُ حُلقومه
وإن قلتُ مَبعرهُ أطهر

3. He loved cleanliness from within
So he was not satisfied with what is apparent

٣. أحبَّ الطهارة من داخلٍ
فلم يرض منها بما يظهر

4. And he did not internally desire the silver coin
But in him is the greater doctrine

٤. وما استدخل الأيرَ من شهوةٍ
ولكن به المذهبُ الأكبر

5. He saw the purity of his appearance incomplete
Or the red skin purifies

٥. رأى طُهر ظاهره لا يتم
م أو يطهرَ الأدَمُ الأحْمر

6. And protected his fingers from touching
What is pretended and what is dirty

٦. وصان أناملَهُ أن تَمْس
سَ ما يُتحامَى وما يُقذَر

7. That's why his ring is still
Stirred by a bald old man

٧. لذلك ليست تزال استه
يخضخضها مِخْوَض أعجر

8. He disappears and his hat is red
And he appears and his hat is yellow

٨. يَغيبُ وبُرنُسُهُ أحمرٌ
ويبدو وبُرْنسه أصفر
