1. وقائِمةٍ في صُفوفِ الرِّجالِ

    تُديرُ الكُؤوسَ ولا تَشربُ تَسْكَرُ

    And one standing in the ranks of men,

    She passes the cups around and, though she does not drink, grows drunk.

  2. لَها أرجُلٌ قَدْ رَسَتْ في الثَّرى

    وفَوْقَ الثُّريّا لَها مَرْقَبُ مَظْهَرُ

    She has legs already firmly anchored in the soil.

    And above the Pleiades she has a lookout, a place of display.

  3. وتُغْشَى عَلى أعيُنِ النَّاسِ طُرّاً

    وتَحْمِلُ كَرْهاً ولا مَعْتَبُ مُنكِرُ

    And she is covered in full view of everyone,

    And she bears unwillingly, with neither reproach nor anyone objecting.
