وَكَأَنَّها تَهْوى إِذاعَةَ ضَوْئِها

لِلنَّاظِرِينَ لِسَعْدِهِمْ بِنُحُوسِها

As if it likes to radiate its light

To viewers, for their luck through its eclipses

فَإِذا تَقَرَّبَ عُمْرُها لِنَفادِهِ

رَدُّوا لَها عُمْراً بِقَطْعِ رؤُوسِها

So when its lifetime approaches its end

They grant it lifetime by beheading it
