1. The leather of your face, O heretic, if made
into book covers and bindings,
١. أَديمُ وَجهِكَ يا زِنديقُ لَو جُعِلَت
مِنهُ الوِقايَةُ وَالتَجليدُ لِلكُتُبِ
2. Would let no spider weave upon them wherever left
Nor would fire's fury be feared for them
٢. لَم يَعلُها عَنكَبوتٌ أَينَما تُرِكَت
وَلا تُخافُ عَلَيها سَطوَةُ اللَهَبِ
