1. When the spinning wheels hummed, she longed for
A spindle and distaff of her own, to spin

2. She prayed to God to end the drought and famine
Each fate is ordained by God, the Fates unfurl

3. Vainglory is ingrained in Eve's daughters
Some boast of wealth, while others pose and twirl

4. Flaunting their charity so people would say
Their line has horses robed in coat of mail

5. The fawn betrayed me, after having its way
And the gazelles who peer from behind the veil

6. How wondrous is the sun with no gray hair
The moon bears no litter across hill and dale

7. Did the racing steeds rejoice with praise?
Or those beasts weighed down with their heavy tails?
