When the sun’s degrees climb higher,
When the steps of the sun ascend
in Pisces, they make Ya‘qub’s silk-and-wool cloth quite needless.
In Pisces sang free from the warp of Jacob

And in spring, when you enjoy it, there is no need
And in spring when you enjoyed it richness
for weavers in the textile workshops of Susa and al-Tib.
Without a seamstress in the style of myrrh and perfume

You withheld from me the pledged prize you would bestow
You denied me the promised danger to spend it
in a pitch-dark, raven-black piece of the sun’s skin.
In your state from the west of the setting sun
