1. لَقَد خابَ مِن أَولادِ دارِمَ مَن مَشى

    إِلى النارِ مَشدودَ الخِناقَةِ أَزرَقا

    Indeed, ruined is whoever among Darim's sons walks

    to the Fire, his neck-cord pulled tight, turned blue.

  2. إِذا جاءَني يَومَ القِيامَةِ قائِدٌ

    عَنيفٌ وَسَوّاقٌ يَسوقُ الفَرَزدَقا

    When, on the Day of Resurrection, a leader comes to me,

    a harsh one, and a driver drives al-Farazdaq.

  3. أَخافُ وَراءَ القَبرِ إِن لَم يُعافِني

    أَشَدَّ مِنَ القَبرِ اِلتِهاباً وَأَضيَقا

    I fear beyond the grave, if He does not spare me,

    what burns more fiercely than the grave, and is narrower.

  4. إِذا شَرِبوا فيها الصَديدَ رَأَيتَهُم

    يَذوبونَ مِن حَرِّ الصَديدِ تَمَزُّقا

    When they drink the pus therein, you see them

    melting from the heat of the pus, falling to pieces.
