وَقَدand indeed لاحَshone فيin الصُبحِthe dawn الثُرَيّاthe Pleiades لِمَنfor whoever رَأىlooked
وَقَد لاحَ في الصُبحِ الثُرَيّا لِمَن رَأى
كَعُنقودِlike a cluster مُلّاحِيَّةٍa Mullāḥiyya white-grape vine حينَwhen نَوَّراit blossomed
كَعُنقودِ مُلّاحِيَّةٍ حينَ نَوَّرا
And at dawn the Pleiades shone for whoever looked,
In the morn appeared brightly to all who saw
Like a cluster on a Mullāḥiyya white-grape vine when it blossomed.
Like a cluster of sailors when day has dawned
