1. Do you not see a scorpion on his cheek
That has no fear of the fire in him
١. أَما تَرى في خَدِّهِ عَقرَباً
لَيسَ لَها في نارِهِ مِن فَرَقْ
2. And you said a scorpion, so no stinger
And you said embers, so why didn't it burn
٢. وَعَقرَبٌ قلتم فَلا لامِسٌ
وَقُلتُمُ نَدٌّ فَلِمْ لا اِحتَرَقْ
3. Black in red, it tells us
A remainder of a night at dusk
٣. سَوداءُ في حَمراءَ تَحكي لَنا
بَقِيَّةً مِن لَيلَةٍ في شَفَقْ
