Then, when he saw Orion first rising at dawn,
When the morning star saw first light of dawn
and its star-cluster at daybreak, like a maiden in a single robe,
And the Pleiades set in the sky like a fading cluster
وخَبَّand raced السَّفاthe fine dust واستبطنand entered the hollow الفحلُthe breeding male والتقتand gathered
وخَبَّ السَّفا واستبطن الفحلُ والتقت
بامعزهاon its gravelly ground بُقْعُmottled الجنادِبthe grasshoppers ترتكِلْkicking
بامعزها بُقْعُ الجنادِب ترتكِلْ
and fine dust raced, and the breeding male entered the hollow, and there gathered
The night grew dim and the east began to shine
on its gravelly ground the mottled grasshoppers, kicking.
As the goat met its kid where partridges call
