And many a raid—I rode a black steed, unadorned,
I rode a tawny camel towards him
toward it, and the back of an adorned gray steed,
While my gray-haired mount appeared worn out

that pranced in white stars of jewels
He wandered among white pearl-adorned stars
and a trailing robe of morning.
Wearing a shirt of dawn's first light
فَبَداthen appeared الصُبحُthe dawn مُلجَماًbridled بِالثُرَيّاwith the Pleiades
فَبَدا الصُبحُ مُلجَماً بِالثُرَيّا

وَجَرى البَرقُ مُسرَجاً بِالهِلالِ
Then dawn appeared, bridled with the Pleiades,
So dawn broke, studded with Pleiades
and lightning raced, saddled with the crescent moon.
And lightning galloped, saddled with the crescent moon
