أَضرِبُهُم وَلا أَرى مُعاويَة

الأَبرَجَ العَينِ العَظيمِ الحاويَة

I strike them though I see not Mu'awiyah

I strike them down, yet I do not see Muawiyah,

The mansion, the fountain, the great enclosure

That wide-eyed one with the massive paunch,

هَوت بِهِ في النارِ أَمُّ هاويَة

جاوَرَهُ فيها كِلابٌ عاويَة

Into the fire with it fell a howling mother

May the Mother Abyss hurl him into the Fire,

There dwells with it ravening dogs

To dwell therein alongside howling dogs,

أَغوى طَغاماً لا هَدَتهُ هاديَه

It led astray a horde with no guide to direct it

He led the riffraff astray—may no guide ever lead him right.
