Do you not see the fire as it dances,
Do you not see the fire dancing,
Its sleeves shaking with delight,
Shaking its sleeves in rapture,
تضحكُit laughs منat آبنوسِهاits ebony عَجباًin wonder
تضحكُ من آبنوسِها عَجباً
إذsince حَوَّلتit has turned عَينَهُits very substance إلىinto الذَّهَبِgold
إذ حَوَّلت عَينَهُ إلى الذَّهَبِ
Laughing in wonder at its ebony,
Laughing in wonder from its flame,
For it has turned its very substance into gold?
As it turns its eyes to gold.
