إِذا ما الماء مازجها تَراءَت

إِذا ما الماء مازجها تَراءَت

كَما زَوجت بالتبر اللجينا

كَما زَوجت بالتبر اللجينا

When water mingles with it, it appears

as though you had wedded silver to gold.

هُما ذوبان لَو جَمَدا جَميعاً

هُما ذوبان لَو جَمَدا جَميعاً

إِذا صارا مَعاً وَرَقاً وَعَينا

إِذا صارا مَعاً وَرَقاً وَعَينا

They are two molten substances; were both to solidify,

then together they would become silver and gold.
