وأشعثَ مثلُ أهلِ النارِ ثاوٍ

وأشعثَ مثلُ أهلِ النارِ ثاوٍ

بأخضرَ كلُّ شطٍّ منهُ جَنّهْ

بأخضرَ كلُّ شطٍّ منهُ جَنّهْ

And a disheveled man, like the dwellers of Hell, abides

With disheveled hair like the people of Hell athirst,

by green waters, each shore of which is a paradise.

Every green shore of his has its own paradise,

على يُمناهُ أحداقٌ صغارٌ

على يُمناهُ أحداقٌ صغارٌ

ترامى الماءُ عنها قد أجنّهْ

ترامى الماءُ عنها قد أجنّهْ

On his right hand are little eyes;

On his right hand are slender bushes

the water splashes away from them, having driven him mad.

From which water pours as if from a fountain.

فيُرسلُها إليه وهي درعٌ

فيُرسلُها إليه وهي درعٌ

وتأتيهِ وقد مُلئتْ أسنّهْ

وتأتيهِ وقد مُلئتْ أسنّهْ

So he casts it toward the water, a coat of mail,

He sends them to it, and it is a breastplate,

and it returns to him, filled with spearheads.

And it comes to him having filled up its vessels.
