وَجهُ حَمدانَ فَاِحذَرو

هُ كِتابُ الزَنادِقَه

The face of Hamdan—so beware him!

He is the scripture of the heretics.

فيهِ أَشياءُ يَزعَمُ ال

ناسُ بِالقَلبِ عالِقَه

In him are things that people claim

Are clinging to the heart.

مَن رَآهُ فَنَفسُهُ

نَحوَهُ الدَهرَ تائِقَه

Whoever sees him, his soul

Is forever yearning toward him.

كُلَّما اِفتَرَّ ضاحِكاً

قُلتُ إيماضٌ بارِقَه

Whenever he beams with laughter,

I say: 'A flash of lightning!'
