يَتَجَرَّعُهُ
وَلَا
يَكَادُ
يُسِيغُهُ
وَيَأْتِيهِ
الْمَوْتُ
مِن
كُلِّ
مَكَانٍ
وَمَا
هُوَ
بِمَيِّتٍ
وَمِن
وَرَائِهِ
عَذَابٌ
غَلِيظٌ

gulping it down, but hardly swallowing it: death will assail him from every side, but he will not die, and there is [yet] a harsh punishment ahead of him.
— Ali Quli Qarai
In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.
