1. توق سبعة أيام قد اطردت

    في كل شهر هلالي مناحسها

    Beware seven days whose ill omens recur

    Unfailingly in every lunar month.

  2. فثالث الشهر مذموم وخامسه

    وثالث العشرة الوسطى وسادسها

    For the month's third is ill-omened, and its fifth,

    And the third of its middle ten days, and their sixth.

  3. ثم اخش حادي عشريه فخشيته

    حزم ورابعها يخشى وخامسها

    Then fear its twenty-first, for fearing it

    Is prudence; its twenty-fourth is feared, and its twenty-fifth.
