1. نَفَضتُ عَنّي تُراباً وَهوَ لي نَسَبٌ

    وَذاكَ يُحسَبُ مِن قَطعِ الفَتى الرَحِما

    I shook dust off myself, though it is kin to me;

    And that is reckoned as a young man's severing of kinship ties.

  2. يا هونَ ما أَوعَدَ اللَهُ العِبادَ بِهِ

    إِن صارَ جِسمِيَ في تَحريقِهِ فَحَما

    How light would be the punishment God has threatened His servants with,

    If my body turned to charcoal in its burning!

  3. وَإِنَّما هُوَ تَخليدٌ بِلا أَمَدٍ

    تَمضي الدُهورُ وَصالي النارِ ما رُحِما

    But it is an eternity without end:

    Ages pass, and he who burns in the fire is shown no mercy.
