R. (Russell) Martineau translation
E.g. in the following fragment of a poem: ‘We lived in Chaffân in company with a people, may God give them rain by the constellation of the Fishes (saḳâhum Allâh min al-nauʾ nauʾ al-simâkeyn), then may a constellation give them abundant water (farawwâhum nauʾ), [a constellation] whose shining spreads light abroad’ (in Freytag, Darstellung der arabischen Verskunst, p. 253).
