نصبوا للناس سمتاً

نصبوا للناس سمتاً

وعلى المنقوش داروا

وعلى المنقوش داروا

They put on a pious air for the people,

They set up an idol for people,

And around the stamped coin they circled.

And revolved around the engraving,

وله صلوا وصاموا

وله صلوا وصاموا

وله حجّوا وزاروا

وله حجّوا وزاروا

And for it they prayed and fasted,

They prayed and fasted for it,

And for it they made pilgrimage and paid visits.

They went on pilgrimage and visited it,

لو رأوه في الثريا

لو رأوه في الثريا

عملوا ريشا وطاروا

عملوا ريشا وطاروا

Were they to see it in the Pleiades,

If they saw it in the sky,

They would fashion feathers and fly.

They would grow feathers and fly.
