1. يا مُدخِلَ الصُلعِ حَمّاماً يَزيدُهُمُ

    بِطولِ مُكثِهِمُ في جَوفِهِ وَسَخا

    O you who bring the bald men into a bathhouse that makes them

    dirtier through their long stay within it,

  2. حَتّى إِذا عَرِقوا مِن حَرِّهِ شَرَعوا

    وَكُلُّهُم بِخُلوفٍ مِنهُ قَد لُطِخا

    until, when they sweat from its heat, they wade in,

    and every one of them is already smeared with its stench.
