هَذِي الثُّرَيّا قد جَرَتْ

وَعُطَارِدٌ في مَهْرَقٍ

وَعُطَارِدٌ في مَهْرَقٍ

These Pleiades have already coursed along,

This Pleiades has journeyed on,

and Mercury is on a parchment sheet;

And the Pathfinder in a setting

كَخَزَانِ بَارُودٍ رَمَتْ

كَخَزَانِ بَارُودٍ رَمَتْ

بِسِهَامِ نَفْطٍ مُحْرِقِ

بِسِهَامِ نَفْطٍ مُحْرِقِ

like a gunpowder magazine, they have shot

Like gunpowder magazines has flung

with arrows of scorching naphtha.

Arrows with combustible jetting
