1. لابن أبي الجَهْم وجه سُوءٍ

    مُقَبَّحٌ ظاهر قُبُوحُهْ

    Ibn Abi al-Jahm has an ugly face,

    Hideous, its ugliness plain.

  2. يعلوه بُغْضٌ له شديد

    على قلوب الورى طُفُوحُه

    A fierce hatred for him overspreads it,

    Its overflow flooding the hearts of humankind.

  3. بغض تَراهُ ولا يراه

    ولم يُقَصِّرْ به وُضُوحُه

    A hatred you see, but he does not,

    Though it is in no way lacking in clarity.

  4. لولا عَمَى نَاظِرَيْهِ عنه

    لَذابَ حتى يَخِفَّ رُوحُه

    Were his two eyes not blind to it,

    He would melt away until his spirit grew light.
