1. تُكايدنا بالنَّتْنِ أنفاس شُنطفٍ

    وبالبَرْد أصواتٌ لها تَتَرَدَّدُ

    Shuntaf’s breaths torment us with their stench,

    and her recurring sounds with their chill.

  2. وفي قُبْحها كافٍ لها من كِيَادها

    ولكنها في فعلها تتبرَّدُ

    Her ugliness alone is mischief enough,

    yet in her doings she cools herself.

  3. ولو عَقِلَت ما كايدتنا لأنها

    بأنفاسها والوجهِ والطبلِ أكْيَدُ

    Had she any sense, she would not plot against us, for she

    is more vulnerable to attack for her breath, her face, and her drum.

  4. ولكنها تبغي التَّبرُّد أنها

    تُكابِدُ ناراً في استها تتوقَّدُ

    But she seeks coolness, for she

    endures a fire blazing in her arse.

  5. ستعلم إن أحْمى الهِجاءُ وطيسَه

    على من غدا شيطانُها يتمَرَّدُ

    She will learn, if satire heats its furnace,

    against whom her devil has begun to rebel.
