فَحْمٌ أَنَارَتْ نَارُهُ

فَحْمٌ أَنَارَتْ نَارُهُ

فَتَضَرَّمَتْ فِيْهِ حَرِيَقَا

فَتَضَرَّمَتْ فِيْهِ حَرِيَقَا

Charcoal—its fire shone,

I glow with fire within

then flared within it in a blaze.

And blaze in fervent heat

فَكَأَنَّهَا وَكَأَنَّهُ

فَكَأَنَّهَا وَكَأَنَّهُ

سَبَجٌ قَرَنْتَ بِهِ عَقِيْقَا

سَبَجٌ قَرَنْتَ بِهِ عَقِيْقَا

So the fire and the charcoal seemed

As though I and the flame

like obsidian to which you joined agate.

In ruby were complete
