1. How cold is the chill of God, how wondrous the sight! 
The youth brought his red-hot embers 
١. لِلَّهِ بَردٌ ما أَشَد
 دَ وَمَنظَرٌ ما كانَ أَعجَب
2. As if he had gathered all the jewelery - 
Scorched by the flames, melted down. 
٢. جاءَ الغُلامُ بِنارِهِ
 حَمراءَ في جَمرٍ تَلَهَّب
3. Then it died away, as if it were 
Between us a flaming, branching firebrand. 
٣. فَكَأَنَّما جُمِعَ الحُلِي
 يَ فَمُحرَقٌ مِنها وَمُذهَب
٤. ثُمَّ اِنطَفَت فَكَأَنَّها
 مابَينَنا نَدٌّ مُشَعَّب
