ما حيوانٌ ما لهُ من حرمة

ما حيوانٌ ما لهُ من حرمة

إذا اسمُهُ صُحِّفَ فابن العمَه

إذا اسمُهُ صُحِّفَ فابن العمَه

What animal is there that has no sanctity?

What animal has no sanctity?

If its name is mispointed, it becomes the child of blindness;

If its name’s dots are altered, it is the paternal aunt’s son;

وقلبُهُ من بعد تَصحِيفٍ له

وقلبُهُ من بعد تَصحِيفٍ له

يريك في الذِّكر الحكيم أمَّه

يريك في الذِّكر الحكيم أمَّه

And its reversal, once it too is mispointed,

And its reversal, after its dots are altered,

Will show you its mother in the Wise Reminder.

Shows you its mother in the Wise Reminder.
