1. I fear Hell and this world, even if I loved it
Like raging fire, filled with raging flames
١. نَخشى السَعيرَ وَدُنيانا وَإِن عُشِقَت
مِثلُ الوَطيسِ تَلَظّى مِلؤُهُ سُعُرُ
2. I keep washing my face for purity through it
In the morning and evening, while my heart is filled with dread
٢. ما زِلتُ أَغسِلُ وَجهي لِلطَهورِ بِهِ
مُسياً وَصُبحاً وَقَلبِيَ حَشوُهُ ذُعُرُ
3. As if I was throwing the darkness of my state
Until my hair attained the purity of its color
٣. كَأَنَّما رُمتُ إِنقاءً لِحالِكِهِ
حَتّى اِتَّقاني بِصافي لَونِهِ الشَعَرُ
