That gold which, made fair-hued by the Sun, the ancient Manus, rich in offspring, sought after—this doth it wholly join to thee with shining splendour; long-lived is he who beareth it.
ذلك الذهبُ الذي جعله سُوريا (Sūrya) حسنَ اللون، والذي سعى إليه المانو (Manu) الأوّلون ذوو الذرية—إنه يضمّه إليك كلَّه ببريقٍ لامع؛ طويلُ العمرِ مَن يَحمِلُه.
