وَحنا بحطام الدَهر لاهين
I walk a path, and all the people are heedless.
I walk the path while all the people play,
And we are absorbed in the wreckage of time.
And I, amidst life's wreckage, pass the day.

النَفس وَاحلف عَلى دروب الهَوى
I, if the Most Merciful helps me, will humble
I, who should aid the Merciful, instead
my soul, and swear upon the paths of love.
Follow desire down its winding way.
Sol 6.1
