1. O Hantah, do you have any interest in an old camel blanket
With the shapes of gazelles and ducks

2. And ribs of well-bred mares
Dyed with madder and foreign mordant

3. The work of an expert artisan
My brother, knowledgeable about this art

4. He worked the night stringing them like threads
And brought them out stretched like strings

5. And in your hands an old blanket
Inherited through generations from the Bedouin

6. So bless it with your blessings
As the camel blessed the saddle cloth

7. What a delicious morsel there
Answered with neighing and braying
