An old woman who has lost the thread of logical judgment.

2. The creeping of a soft bed is better than her company,
For your body, her harm is worse than scorpion stings.

3. Had she been easy like water, her meetings would necessitate
Avoidance by those of intelligence and experience.

4. She enlivens the faces of drinkers through harmless actions,
While plotting like one who wages war.

5. When she is killed, even the righteous fear unjust blame,
And among the youths, he was the first to flee.

6. The enemy of resolve drew the sword and attacked the people with it
Yet did not engage in combat.

7. The Indian was not arrogant in his palm,
But rather bent his fingers around the striker.

8. If the flock of reason were camels of 'Amir,
Each foolish sheep would strike ruins.

9. She instigated nothing but death for a neighbor
And accomplished nothing but the lowest of schemes.

10. She strips the young man of his clothes while he is unaware
And provokes the war of fate between relatives.

11. Proofs have been established and wine admits that she
Is a slanderer of absence unlawful for the drinker.
