Original content

شمع آمد و گفت: کیست گمراه چو من
در حلق طناب مانده ناگاه چو من

تا خام رگی چو موم نبود نرود
از جهل به ریسمان فرو چاه چو من

English translation

The candle came and said: 'Who is astray like me, Suddenly caught by a rope in the throat like me? Unless one is raw-veined like wax, one would not go Down a well by a rope out of ignorance like me.'
