On the Day of Judgment, Naji is pure and righteous, while those with evil deeds will head toward Hell (Saqar).
In this couplet, Naji cleverly plays on his own pen-name, which literally means 'the saved one' or 'the one who attains deliverance'. While the Day of Judgment is typically painted with terror—a time when the wicked are driven toward the fires of Saqar (Hell)—the poet cheekily claims guaranteed salvation and pure-hearted innocence. It is a delightful blend of classical eschatology and witty poetic self-praise, turning an intimidating reckoning into a lighthearted boast.
