Rejoice in a gray steed like a shooting star.
You yearn for Ashhab like a shooting star
He delights you if, as he runs, you cry, “On!”
It pleases you if I say let's go!

His mane traces lines in the earth,
His friends draw lines in the ground
and he lifts his rider among the Pleiades.
And his rider raises him to the Pleiades
