يا صاحب اللحية الحمراء عابثة
بها الرياح لقد أشبهت شيطانا
O you with the red beard, toyed with
by the winds—you indeed resemble a devil.
كأنما فمك المفتوح محتبساً
فيه اللسان وقد حاولت تبيانا
It is as though your open mouth, holding captive
the tongue within, as you tried to explain,
مأوىً لأخبث ثعبانٍ تحيط به ال
نيران فاستوقفتْه فيه حيرانا
were a refuge for the vilest serpent, encircled by the
flames, which thus held it there, bewildered.
Sol 6.1
