So if Samra spends the summer denying Za’id
The reddish-brown wakeful one denies excess
his watering places between al-Ahass and Ulyab,
to those seeking her between acacias and jujube;

Give thou good tidings to Banu Hajj of plenteous rains
from the Pleiades, or a rain-bearing star rising with Scorpio.
From a star or clouds promising by Scorpio.
