1. نَفَضتُ عَنّي تُراباً وَهوَ لي نَسَبٌ

    وَذاكَ يُحسَبُ مِن قَطعِ الفَتى الرَحِما

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

    And that is counted 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 is what God has threatened His servants with,

    If my body turns to charcoal when burned!

  3. وَإِنَّما هُوَ تَخليدٌ بِلا أَمَدٍ

    تَمضي الدُهورُ وَصالي النارِ ما رُحِما

    But it is an eternity without end:

    The ages pass, while the one burning in the fire is never shown mercy.
