مَكانَ الثُرَيّا إِن تَأَمَّلَها البَصَر
Indeed, the pursuit of me, for whoever wishes to reach me,
My enmity is for he who, if he wished me
Lies where the Pleiades stand, if the eye beholds them.
To take the place of al-Suriyya, the eye would see me there
وَإِنّيand indeed I الَّذيthe one who لاnot يَبحَثُsearches out السِرَّthe secret وَحدَهُby himself
وَإِنّي الَّذي لا يَبحَثُ السِرَّ وَحدَهُ
إِذاwhen كانَis غَيريsomeone other than me مَنthe one who يَدُبُّcreeps إِلىinto الخَمَرthe thickets
إِذا كانَ غَيري مَن يَدُبُّ إِلى الخَمَر
And I am he who does not search out the secret alone,
Yet I, who does not pry into secrets on my own
When another is the one who creeps into the thickets.
When another creeps to the wine, I join him there

أَحُلُّ بِهاماتِ اللَهاميمِ مِن مُضَر
I am the son of him who saved the child from burial alive, and I have never ceased
I am the son of him who revived al-Wa'eed and I will not cease
To dwell upon the heads of the mighty chiefs of Mudar.
To solve the riddles of fate however grave they are
