अ॒ग्नेरि॑वास्य॒ दह॑तो दा॒वस्य॒ दह॑तः॒ पृथ॑क्। ए॒तामे॒तस्ये॒र्ष्यामु॒द्राग्निमि॑व शमय

As from the burning fire, as from the burning forest-blaze—apart! This jealousy of this man, draw it forth; quench it, as one quencheth a glowing firebrand.
كما من النار المتّقدة، وكما من لهيب الغابة المحترقة—ابتعدْ، وانفصلْ! هذه الغيرةُ من هذا الرجل تجاه ذاك—استخرجْها؛ وأطفئْها كما يُطفَأ جَمرٌ متّقد.
