وَتَلوح لي الجَوزاء سكرى كُلَما

وَتَلوح لي الجَوزاء سكرى كُلَما

And Orion appears to me drunk whenever

The Cassia waves to me drunkenly every time

the chameleon tilts her, she nearly bends.

The dust wind bends it, about to break it

وَنطاقها مُتَراصف في نَظمِهِ

وَنطاقها مُتَراصف في نَظمِهِ

فَكَأَنَّما اِنتَطَقَت بِقطعة جوشن

فَكَأَنَّما اِنتَطَقَت بِقطعة جوشن

And her belt is closely set in its arrangement,

With its branches ranked in orderly arrangement

as though she had girded herself with a piece of armor.

As though it spoke with pieces of jewelry
