يَا صَاحِبَيِ
السِّجْنِ
أَمَّا
أَحَدُكُمَا
فَيَسْقِي
رَبَّهُ
خَمْرًا
وَأَمَّا
الْآخَرُ
فَيُصْلَبُ
فَتَأْكُلُ
الطَّيْرُ
مِن
رَّأْسِهِ
قُضِيَ
الْأَمْرُ
الَّذِي
فِيهِ
تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ

"O my two companions of the prison! As to one of you, he will pour out the wine for his lord to drink: as for the other, he will hang from the cross, and the birds will eat from off his head. (so) hath been decreed that matter whereof ye twain do enquire"...
— Abdullah Yusufali
O my prison mates! As for one of you, he will serve wine to his master, and as for the other, he will be crucified and vultures will eat from his head. The matter about which you inquire has been decided.’
