إذا أمسك الشيخ العصا بيمينه

فكبّر عليه أربعا فهو هالك

If the sheikh takes his staff in his right hand

Then say four takbeers over him, for he is doomed

يملّ ثواه الأقربون ويتدي

طريدا وقد ضاقت عليه المسالك

His closest kin shall carry his bier

An outcast, with all paths closed to him

يهون على أهليه بعد كرامة

زمان الصبا والراس أسود حالك

He will be scorned by his family after a time

Of honor in his youth, his black hair now wretched

ولا سيّما إن كفّ أو كان أحنفا

تلقاه قبل الموت بالنار مالك

Especially if he was left-handed or crooked

You'll find him in hellfire before his death, accursed
