هَذا اِبنُ جاموس ضَعوا في أَنفِهِ

بُرَةً وَجُرّوهُ إِلى جَرِّ العَجَل

Here is Ibn Jāmūs—put a nose-ring through his nose,

and harness him to haul the carts.

فَلَعَلَّ بُرجَ السورِ يَثني قَرنَهُ

عَن نَطحِ بُرجِ الثَورِ فَهوَ عَلى وَجَل

Perhaps the rampart tower will turn his horn aside

from butting the constellation Taurus, which trembles in fear.
