1. أَتى وَفي يَدِهِ نار فَقال لَنا

    وَقَولهُ بِلِسان الوَهم مُضطَربُ

    He came with fire in his hand and said to us—

    And his speech, in the tongue of delusion, was confused—

  2. مَن مِنكُمُ يَبتَغي ناراً فَقُلت لَهُ

    لِلرَأس تطلب مِنكَ النار يا ذَنبُ

    “Who among you seeks fire?” So I said to him:

    “For the head, fire is sought from you, O tail!”
