1. He came with fire in his hand and said to us
His words in the tongue of illusion were disturbed
١. أَتى وَفي يَدِهِ نار فَقال لَنا
وَقَولهُ بِلِسان الوَهم مُضطَربُ
2. Who among you wants fire? I said to him
From you the fire asks for the head, O tail
٢. مَن مِنكُمُ يَبتَغي ناراً فَقُلت لَهُ
لِلرَأس تطلب مِنكَ النار يا ذَنبُ
