1. The star, the bright star, traveled westward
From the east to find the lamp of knowledge

2. I said: O star, convey my greetings
And memories, thanks for the dew and wisdom

3. Stop by the dwellings of Ibn Malik in Najd
There you will find all glory, new and old

4. Camp near Sahl's plain, so welcoming
To answers blowing like the wind

5. Stay there and when you meet him
You will see it as a fine encounter

6. Take from him what you hear if you reach Mecca
Each tribe has its own rituals at the holy sites

7. Describe to the people your virtues
O you who are beautifully described and beautifully describe
