1. ما زِلتَ تركبُها عِتاقاً سُبَّقاً

    في حَلبةِ الأشراجِ والأُستاهِ

    You have kept riding them as noble-bred, swift racers,

    on the racecourse of anuses and buttocks,

  2. حتَّى غَدوتَ كما علِمتَ مُعرِّضاً

    في ماءِ وَجهكَ سائِرِ الأمواهِ

    until, as you know, you came to expose

    your face’s water—your honor—to all the other waters.
