1. رَمَوْني في نارِ الهوى فخزنتها

    فسُمّيت ابراهيم طوراً ومالكا

    They cast me into love’s fire, and I became its keeper.

    So I was called now Ibrahim, now Malik.

  2. فإنْ نجوا منها بطبعٍ وعصمةٍ

    فإني قدْ أصبحتُ حيَّاً وهالكا

    If they escaped it through natural constitution and protection,

    then I have indeed become both alive and perishing.
