O Lord, the most loathsome house You have created
O Lord, I hate the house You created
is a house in Kawfan, from which Saqar was kindled.
A house in Kufa from which hellfire was ignited

شَتّى الأُمورِ فَلا وَردٌ وَلا صَدَرُ
A dwelling where all the people have gathered,
A place where all people gathered
their circumstances varied, with neither coming in nor going out.
Of different affairs, neither roses nor breasts

مِن كُلِّ إِنسٍ وَفيها البُدوُ وَالحَضَرُ
A house—may time efface it—desolate
A house on which the dust of time lies barren
of all human fellowship, though nomads and townsfolk are within.
Empty of all humanity, inhabited by nomads and settled folk
