1. أَما تَرى في خَدِّها حَيَّةً

    وَعَقرَباً بَشَّرَتا بِالعَجيب

    Do you not see a snake upon her cheek

    And a scorpion? Both have brought glad tidings of a marvel.

  2. فَحَيَّةٌ بِالوَثبِ قَد بَشَّرَت

    وَعَقرَبٌ قَد بَشَّرَت بِالدَبيب

    For the snake has brought glad tidings of leaping,

    And the scorpion has brought glad tidings of creeping.
