وَإِنَّ اِقتِرانَ الجِنسِ في غَيرِ جِنسهِ

عَذابٌ أَليمٌ عِندَ ذي العِلمِ والعَقلِ

For the joining of unlike kinds is painful doom

To those of wisdom and intelligence that presume

وَما غايَةُ التعذيبِ عِندي وكنْهُه

سِوى قَرنِ ذي علمٍ بغمرٍ أخي جهلِ

And for me torture's epitome defined

Is but to couple enlightened mind with ignorant and blind
