1. He came stealthily, the guardian unawares,
And the star had declined towards setting.

2. The spears were shaken, exciting the zebra
With a rod on the hillock.

3. Stumbling in its tail, it tells
Of the stumbling of their eyes in hearts.

4. By Allah, did the Pleiades attain it,
It would not attain such joy and fragrance.

5. The crescent approached her until
It kissed her reddened palm.
