ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ
Our Prophet selected it,
Ali planted it, Fatima collected it
For Husayn and Hasan.
All who are born on Saturday,
On Sunday, or on Monday,
On Tuesday, or on Wednesday,
On Thursday, or on Friday;
Underground, on the ground;
Black-eyed, blue-eyed, crow-eyed, ewe-eyed;
All who have looked, all who have not;
Neighbor on left, neighbor on right;
Before the face, behind the back;
May the eye of the envious and of envy crack!
***
Esfand, seed by seed,
One seed, a hundred seeds,
May the eye of envy be burst!
