1. قالوا جَهَنَّمُ دارُ الخلدِ ساكنُها

    إذا تَطاوَلَ دهرٌ أَخمَدَ اللَّهَبَا

    They said: Hell is the abode of eternity; its inhabitant,

    when an age stretches on, extinguishes the flame.

  2. أمَالِكٌ صار مِن عَجْزٍ لِذِي يَدِهِ

    لا يسْتطيعُ لفقرٍ يشْتري الحَطبَا

    Has Mālik, through lack of means, become one who

    cannot, through poverty, buy firewood?
