Not bad. You have correctly put the object, the thing worn, before the
verb, but the noun-noun construction is likely not the way you want it.
{qab qul} is "face's fire" or "fire of face"
{qul qab} would be "fire's face" "face of fire"
You have to decide whether you mean that he wore fire that could be said to
belong to a face, or he wore a face that could be said to belong to fire. I
expect you mean the latter, {qul qab}.
BTW: see if you can reconfigure your mailer not to send attachments in html.
