وَالتَهَبَت نارُنا فَمَنظَرُها

وَالتَهَبَت نارُنا فَمَنظَرُها

يُغنيكَ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرٍ عَجَبِ

يُغنيكَ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرٍ عَجَبِ

And our fire blazed up; the sight of it

Our fire blazed and the sight of it

leaves you needing no other wondrous sight.

Would spare you any wondrous sight.

إِذا رَمَت بِالشَرارِ وَاِضطَرَمَت

إِذا رَمَت بِالشَرارِ وَاِضطَرَمَت

عَلى ذُراها مَطارِفُ اللَهَبِ

عَلى ذُراها مَطارِفُ اللَهَبِ

When it flings out sparks, and there blaze

When it flung its sparks and roared

upon its crests the mantles of flame,

Flames leaping over the firewood.

رَأَيتَ ياقوتَةً مُشبَكَةٍ

رَأَيتَ ياقوتَةً مُشبَكَةٍ

تَطيرُ مِنها فُراضَةُ الذَهَبِ

تَطيرُ مِنها فُراضَةُ الذَهَبِ

you see a latticed ruby

You would see a ruby interlinked

from which shavings of gold fly.

With spangles of gold flying from it.
