هب على رأسك العنا
قيدَ والقارَ والسَّبَجْ
Bestow upon your head, O Fate!
Chains and fetters and shackles
هب على رأسك الدُّجَى
ثَبَجاً فوقَه ثبَجْ
Bestow upon your head, O Fate!
Layers upon layers
جُمَّةً فوقَ جُمَّةٍ
دَرَجاً خلفه دَرَجْ
Step after step
Where is a face that seems
أين وجْهٌ كأنه
عَدِمَ الرّوحَ والفرَجْ
To lack soul and orifice?
Where is a head that seems
أين رأسٌ كأنه
مِنْ مَشَقِّ اسْتها خرَجْ
To have emerged from suffering?
Where is a snout that seems
أين خَطْمٌ كأنما
فُوكَ من تحتِه شرَجْ
As if, from beneath it, burst pus?
Where are distant eyes
أين عينٌ بعيدةٌ
من فتور ومن دعَجْ
Languid and bleary?
Over them, coarse eyebrows—
فوقها حاجِبٌ أحصـ
ـصُ بعيدٌ من الزَّجَجْ
Distant, made of twine.
O epitome of ugliness, devoid
يا سليباً من الملا
حَةِ والحسن والبَهَجْ
Of beauty, charm and delight!
All hideousness combined
مُزِجَ القبحُ كلُّهُ
فيك بالمقْت فامْتَزَجْ
In you—loathsome, repugnant!
You have a face that melts with
لَك وجْهٌ تذوبُ مَقْ
تاً وبغْضَاً له المهَجْ
Hatred and disgust.
At its likes, no eyelid brightens
ما بِأمثاله يُبَشـ
ـشَرُ جفنٌ إذا اختلَجْ
When it quivers.
Ugliness fully ripened in you
أُنضِجَ القبحُ فيك جد
داً وما أُنضج المَشَجْ
Was never thus ripened by Fate.
O questioner! At daybreak
أيها السائلي به
وضَحَ الصُّبحُ فانبلَجْ
Dawn shone bright. Have no fear!
He is like the sea—so describe him
هو كالبحر حَدِّثِ الـ
ـناسَ عنه ولا حرَجْ
To people. Feel no unease!
He is whatever you wish
هو ما شئت من جنو
ن وحُمْقٍ ومن هوَجْ
Of insanity, folly and delirium.
When he jests with someone,
وإذا مازح أمرَءاً
جمَّدَ الروحَ أو ثَلَجْ
He freezes the soul or numbs it.
O people! Woe unto you!
أيها الناس وَيْحَكُمْ
طالبوهُ بمنْ فلَجْ
Seek him out, whoever perished!
Coolheaded, though wits for him
باردُ الرأسِ واستُهُ
تتلظَّى لها وهَجْ
Seethe and boil.
He entertains his companion
ويُحيِّيِ جليسَه
بِفُسَاءٍ له رهَجْ
With an obscenity that excites him.
His obscenities suffice him—
حسبه من فُسَائِهِ
نَكهةٌ تقطع الودَجْ
Flavors that sever intimacy.
Blessed is he whose penis, if it
بركةٌ لو يُزَلَّجُ الـ
ـفِيلُ في دُبْرِهِ انْزَلَجْ
Slid into his anus, would crumble!
His rectum requires of his member
تقتضيه استه الأُيُو
رَ اقتضاءً مع الدُّلَجْ
Just what it requires, with sweetness.
So he calls out to his member:
فَيُنادي على استه
رحم الله من عَفَجْ
“May God have mercy on him who yielded!”
When a cunt is presented to him,
فإذا أُبرزتْ له
فَيْشةٌ سُرَّ وابْتَهَجْ
He rejoices and is glad.
When it excites him, he mutters lyrics
واسْتَخفَّتْهُ طَرْبَةٌ
يتغنَّى لها الهزَجْ
To which the wanton dance.
He desires a firm penis
يشتهي الأيْرَ قيِّماً
ليس في متنه عِوَجْ
With no curvature in its shaft.
He is patient with it if
وصبورٌ عليه إنْ
شَقّ مَفْسَاهُ أو سَحَجْ
Its passage strains or is rough.
It writhes to exit him
يَلْتَوِي من خروجه
وجليدٌ إذا ولَجْ
Like ice when it melts.
Witness his body that bore
شاهِدِي جسمُه الذي
حمل اللحم فاعتلَجْ
Flesh and contorted itself!
Cauteries cured him
نَجَعَتْ في علاجه
حُقَنُ المُرْدِ فانْتَفَجْ
And then burst open.
By God! From their foods
قسماً إن في اسْتِهِ
من هُرَاقَاتِهِمْ لُجَجْ
Are plagues in his gut—whatever plagues!
Whoever among you is in some respect
وبه من طَعَامِهِمْ
فَحَجٌ أيُّمَا فَحَجْ
As we have described—he is damned and perished!
خاب من فيه بعض ما
قد وصفنا وما فلَجْ
