1. O you who sacrifice yourself for the good of all
You have ignited yourself with fire to gain illumination
١. يا مُحرِقَ نَفسِهِ لِنَفعِ الجَمعِ
بِالنارِ عَلِقتَ لاكتِساب اللَمعِ
2. Do not blame a tongue that utters scorching words
The wick has destroyed itself through its flaming tongue
٢. لا تَلوِ لِساناً يَتَلَظّى ناراً
قَد أَهلَكَ نفسَه لِسانُ الشَمعِ
