1. Al-Marmari the doctor has a boy
Like the full moon veiled by eclipse

2. Tall of build, a stirring half-breed
Slow of spirit, his lower half swift

3. Chaste, though people shunned him in ascetism
And from his abandonment, chaste he remained

4. You see his waist-sash slipping
To his legs, unmatched it flows

5. When the desperate man one day sought him
His family tree proved paltry
