نحاسنا تغلنا وزئبقنا

ما طار في طبخنا عن الثُّفلِ

Our copper has matured and our mercury,

It did not evaporate in our cooking from the dregs.

وهو إذا ابيضّ فضة فإذا

ما احمرّ تبر فرخان من أصلِ

And when it turned silver, it became

Red sulfur, chicks from the origin.

صنوان من واحد إذا امتزجا

في البحر حازا أكرم الفعلِ

Two medicines from one, when they mix

In the sea, they achieve the most honorable deed.

والجسد اللين الضعيف هوال

حابس للآبقات بالثقلِ

The soft, weak body is the one

That imprisons the fugitives with its weight.

والروح أباقة لخفتها

تطير في جوها وتستعلي

And the soul is a fugitive due to its lightness,

It flies in its atmosphere and rises high.

والناس بالزئبق الغرور وبال

كبريت والأوساخ في شغلِ

And the people with the mercury of arrogance and the

Sulfur and filth of occupation.

قد تركوا النور يستضيء به ال

ساري وساروا في ظلم الجهلِ

They have abandoned the light to illuminate

The sublime, and walked in the darkness of ignorance.
