غاسِلٌ وجهَهُ بإحدى يَديهِ

مُستعينٌ في غَسلهِ باللُّعابِ

Washing his face with one hand

Aiding his ablution with spittle

وَيعي الصّوتَ إِذْ يَعي في طوى

وهوَ يرْنو إِذا رنا مِنْ شِهابِ

Hearing a sound as it stirs within

Gazing at a shooting star's glint

لا يَرى أخْبَثَيْهِ عَيناً ولا يَع

لم ما جَنَّتاهُ غيرَ التُّرابِ

His wicked eyes see nothing, know nothing

Of what his hands have wrought but dust
