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
