1. When I heard the rooster crow at dawn
And Alnashran straddled the belly of Alakrab

2. And the stars followed each other as if they were
Doe dung on the branches of Almarqab

3. And Suhail appeared in the sky as if it were
A bull and Alhijan Alrabrab opposed it

4. I awakened my drinking companion and said to him get up
O son of nobles, from the yellow wine

5. Yellow, pouring into the cup as if it were
The eye of the locust or the saliva of the rabbit

6. The wine flowed from the heat of every noon
And battlefield, its flasks tossing and turning
