More or less, we are bored of you,

أكثري أو فأقلي

1. More or less, we are bored of you,
So leave us be and depart!

١. أَكثِري أَو فَأَقِلّي
قَد مَلَلناكِ فَمَلّي

2. No longing remains for your love,
Nor does God call one to pray to you.

٢. ما إِلى حُبِّكِ عَودٌ
ما دَعا اللَهُ مُصَلّي

3. We granted you, by my life,
And were charitable with a burden.

٣. قَد وَهَبناكِ لَعَمري
وَتَصَدَّقنا بِحَملِ

4. None would be like you, had it not been
For the foolishness of my passion for you.

٤. لَم يَكُن مِثلُكِ لَولا
سَفَهِ الرَأيِ هَوىً لي

5. O you who ask about her,
Listen to my frank description:

٥. أَيُّها السائِلُ عَنها
اِسمَعِ اللَفظَ المُحَلّي

6. Her figure is ugly,
And she has a twisted face.

٦. شَخصُها شَخصٌ قَبيحٌ
وَلَها وَجهٌ مُوَلّي

7. She is hidden from every eye,
And concealed from every guide.

٧. وَخَفَت عَن كُلِّ عَينٍ
وَخَفَت عَن كُلِّ دَلِّ

8. She has a mouth as if
God had covered it in kohl.

٨. وَلَها ثَغرٌ كَأَنَّ ال
لاهَ غَشّاهُ بِكُحلِ

9. You describe enjoyment from her
As a rotting corpse on a barren day,

٩. تَصِفُ النَكهَةَ مِنها
جَيفَةً في يَومِ طَلِّ

10. And she spits when she meets
To gain the spit.

١٠. وَتُفَلّي حينَ تَلقا
كَ لِتَحظى بِالتَفَلّي

11. Her behind is a bowl, but
Her belly is a bladder of vinegar.

١١. رِدفُها طَستٌ وَلَكِن
بَطنُها زُكرَةُ خَلِّ

12. Bear witness that I am innocent
Of passion for her, absolved!

١٢. اِشهَدوا أَنّي بَريءٌ
مِن هَواها مُتَخَلّي
