رأيتُ سراجَ الدِّين للصّفْع صالحاً

ولكنّهُ في علْمه فاسدُ الذِّهن

I saw Siraj ad-Din apt for slapping

Yet in his knowledge, corrupt in mind

استره بالكفِّ خوفَ انطفائه

وآفتُه منْ طَفْئه كثرَةُ الدُّهن

Cover him with your palm, fearing his extinction

For his flaw is the excess oil quenching his flame
