Its face towards Qormusta, its tail thrown on the padlock,
The yellow ox that carries the earth is 114000 years old.
Ka’bah on its back, its mouth opened to Qormusta,
Its tail thrown to its belly, the west and the east over its head.
It never diverts its eyes, the earth would vanish if it shook off,
It suffers much from a little fly flying over its head.
Its skin thicker than mountains, creatures can’t drain its grease,
It has an intense strength, as if it was fourteen years old.
It’s an earthquake when it shakes, its horns are an uproar,
It has twelve feet, each of them at one of the corners.
Poet Yunus tells it, how pleasant has the wealthy created,
I wish I could yoke it, it has the wisdom in its work.
