وَذي أَربَعٍ لا يُطيقُ النُهوضَ

وَذي أَربَعٍ لا يُطيقُ النُهوضَ

وَلا يَألَفُ السَيرَ فيمَن سَرى

وَلا يَألَفُ السَيرَ فيمَن سَرى

And one with four legs, unable to rise,

With four that cannot bear to rise

Nor accustomed to traveling among those who journey by night.

Nor walk with those who walk life's trail

تُحَمِّلُهُ سَبَجاً أَسوَداً

تُحَمِّلُهُ سَبَجاً أَسوَداً

فَيَجعَلُهُ ذَهَباً أَحمَرا

فَيَجعَلُهُ ذَهَباً أَحمَرا

You load it with black jet,

You load him down, black antimony

Then it turns it into red gold.

And he will render gold vermeil
