Hell isn't Easy (Immam al-Shafiee)

لقلع ضرس، وضرب حبس *** ونزع نفس، ورد أمس

To pull out a molar, to be beat as a prisoner 
to have your soul pulled out of you, and to be turned down a day before

وقر برد ، وقود فرد *** ودبغ جلد بغير شمس

To feel the cold, to be lead by a single man 

and to be tanned without any sun

وأكل ضب ، وصيد دب *** وصرف حب بأرض خرس

To eat a lizard, to hunt a bear 

and to spend your love in a mute land

ونفخ نار، وحمل عار *** وبيع دار بربع فلس

To inflate [blow on] a fire, to carry disgrace 

and to sell your home for a quarter of a penny

وبيع خف ، وعدم ألف *** وضرب ألف بحبل قلس

To sell your shoes, to have one thousand people executed 

and for one thousand people to be beaten with a hard rope

أهون من وقفة الحر *** يرجو نوالا بباب نحس

Is easier than to stand in the hot [hellfire] 

wishing to correct your bad luck
