قامَ بِلا عَقلٍ وَلا دِينِ
يَخلُطُ تَصفيقاً بِتَأذينِ
He rose, with neither reason nor religion,
mixing handclaps with the call to prayer.
فَنَبّه الأَحبابَ مِن نَومِهم
لِيَخرُجوا في غَيرِ ما حينِ
He roused the dear ones from their sleep,
so they would come out at the wrong hour.
كَأَنَّما غَصَّ بِها حَلقُهُ
أَغَصّه اللَهُ بسكّينِ
As though his throat had choked upon it—
may God make him choke on a knife!
Sol 5.6
