The cheek of Abu al-Mustahil told me

خدن أبي المستهل خبرني

1. The cheek of Abu al-Mustahil told me
Of his generosity in the world with his sanctity

١. خِدْنُ أبي المُسْتَهِلِّ خبَّرني
عنْ جُوده في الورى بِحُرْمَتِهِ

2. And he said, by God, I have hidden the shame
Of my friend in her cleft and slit

٢. وقال قَدْ والإلهِ غَيَّبْتُ غُرْ
مُوليَ في فَرجها وفَقْحتِهِ

3. So I said, describe it, and he said, wider than
The collar of a millstone, a roughness like its husk

٣. فقلتُ صِفْها فقال أوسع من
طوقِ الرَّحَى رِخوةٌ كَسَبَّتِهِ

4. And he said, shaved, so I said to him
You lied, plucked like his beard

٤. وقال مَحْلُوقةٌ فقلتُ له
كَذَبْتَ مَنْتوفةٌ كَلِحْيَتِهِ
