1. Among them are the parchment-maker and the skinner,
To them belong the perfumer and the cook.

2. And the practiced craft and the executioner,
And the tanner of hides and the blacksmith.

3. To them belong the guide and the conniver,
Then the young man called the lamplighter.

4. And among them are the baker and the alley,
Followed by the slaves and the water-carriers.

5. And the seller of shoes and slippers,
And after him the porters and the tambourine players.

6. And among them are the baker and the sack-maker,
To them belong the sifter and strainer maker.

7. And the maker of pegs for the tent poles
Between three and eight.

8. And the copyist of the Quran and the water carrier,
Then the whores with freckled skin.

9. Then the many dogs and flies,
There is no doubt in my words.
