1. O beard that grew on its owner's face
Thick and tangled, ugly in its heinousness
١. يا لِحية عَظُمَت في وَجهِ صاحِبها
كَثيفة خَبثت شَنعاء قَد قَبحت
2. If all the world's filth were a single sea
In that odious beard it would overflow
٢. لَو النّجاسات كانَت أَبحُراً وُضِعَت
في تِلكُمُ اللّحية الشّنعاء ما طفحت
