وَالتَهَبَت نارُنا فَمَنظَرُها

يُغنيكَ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرٍ عَجَبِ

Our fire blazed and the sight of it

Would spare you any wondrous sight.

إِذا رَمَت بِالشَرارِ وَاِضطَرَمَت

عَلى ذُراها مَطارِفُ اللَهَبِ

When it flung its sparks and roared

Flames leaping over the firewood.

رَأَيتَ ياقوتَةً مُشبَكَةٍ

تَطيرُ مِنها فُراضَةُ الذَهَبِ

You would see a ruby interlinked

With spangles of gold flying from it.
