1. When Pleiades and the crescent moon appeared to me
Like the sun when she unwillingly bid farewell to her day

2. Like Asma when she visited in the evening and left behind
Her anklets and bracelets at our place as a token

3. And the turn of Gemini tells of her veil
With pearls in it, not fearing their scatter

4. And I was consoled by Sirius's passage like a teardrop
In the eye of a lover who does not wish its descent

5. And I herded Suhail like an ember's fire
From which the kindlers borrowed its sparks

6. And the Milky Way's trail shone for the galaxy unhidden
When it split through the garden of plants, revealing its brilliance
