فَإمَّا تَقِظَ سَمْرَاءُ تَمْنَعُ زَائِداً

فَإمَّا تَقِظَ سَمْرَاءُ تَمْنَعُ زَائِداً

مَوارِدَهُ بَيْنَ الأَحَصِّ وَعُلْيَبِ

مَوارِدَهُ بَيْنَ الأَحَصِّ وَعُلْيَبِ

So if Samra spends the summer denying Za’id

The reddish-brown wakeful one denies excess

his watering places between al-Ahass and Ulyab,

to those seeking her between acacias and jujube;

فَبَشِّرْ بَني حاَجٍ بِصَوْبٍ غَزِيرةٍ

فَبَشِّرْ بَني حاَجٍ بِصَوْبٍ غَزِيرةٍ

مِنَ النَّجْمِ أَوْ نَوْءٍ يَنُوءُ بَعقْرَبِ

مِنَ النَّجْمِ أَوْ نَوْءٍ يَنُوءُ بَعقْرَبِ

then give the sons of Haj glad tidings of a copious downpour

Give thou good tidings to Banu Hajj of plenteous rains

from the Pleiades, or a rain-bearing star rising with Scorpio.

From a star or clouds promising by Scorpio.
