Sol 6.1

  1. May the Muradi's bounty never flow—he who spilled

    With both hands the lifeblood of the finest human in creation.

  2. Through what he undertook with his blow, he has become

    Stripped bare of whatever Islam he had upon him.

  3. He made heaven weep for a gate the slain man used to frequent

    Within it; and the earth yearned for him with tender longing.

  4. At times I say: the son of two accursed ones, a foundling

    Of Iblis's offspring—rather, he was a devil.

  5. Woe to his mother! What a curse she bore!

    Certainly not as Imran ibn Hittan said.

  6. A slave who bore a sin—had it been borne

    By Thahlan for the blink of an eye, Thahlan would have been shattered.

  7. He now lies confined in Barahut of Balhut,

    Where he encounters various hues of God's torment.

  8. Not since the earth's shoulders were subdued has there crept upon it

    A creature whose scales are emptier of goodness than his.

  9. Not even the she-camel's hamstringer, who brought Thamud to ruin—they had

    A Lord whose wrath they incurred through wickedness and unbelief—

  10. Nor Adam's son, accursed Qabil, the brother

    Of Habil, when the two presented an offering to God.

  11. Rather, the Muradi is, in God's sight, the greatest of them

    In disgrace, and the most wretched in soul and body.
