أَتَعْجَبُ من أتَانِكَ حِينَ أَنَّتْ

أَتَعْجَبُ من أتَانِكَ حِينَ أَنَّتْ

بِرَاكِبهَا وزَايلَهَا النَّشَاطُ

بِرَاكِبهَا وزَايلَهَا النَّشَاطُ

Do you marvel at your she-ass when she groaned

Do you wonder that she came to you when

beneath her rider, and her vigor deserted her?

She carried her rider and lost her vigor?

لأَضْغَطَهَا رُكُوبُكَ فاسْتأنَّتْ

لأَضْغَطَهَا رُكُوبُكَ فاسْتأنَّتْ

نحيطَ الطِّفْلِ أضْغَطهُ القُمَاطُ

نحيطَ الطِّفْلِ أضْغَطهُ القُمَاطُ

Your riding surely squeezed her, so she groaned

For your riding has burdened her, so she took her time

like a child squeezed by its swaddling bands.

As a child's diaper weighs down the child.

فَلاَ تَسْتَنكِرَنَّ ضِرَاطَ أُتْنٍ

فَلاَ تَسْتَنكِرَنَّ ضِرَاطَ أُتْنٍ

حَمَلْنَكَ إنَّ غَايتَها الضُّرَاطُ

حَمَلْنَكَ إنَّ غَايتَها الضُّرَاطُ

So never find strange the farting of she-asses

So do not disdain the braying of the she-ass

that carried you; indeed, all they can do is fart.

When she carried you, for her goal is but to bray.

ثَقُلَتْ فَلَوْ كَسَوْتَ الرَّحلَ ظَهْرَ الصْ

ثَقُلَتْ فَلَوْ كَسَوْتَ الرَّحلَ ظَهْرَ الصْ

صِرَاطِ أليَّةً ضَرَطَ الضُّرَاطُ

صِرَاطِ أليَّةً ضَرَطَ الضُّرَاطُ

She grew heavy; if you placed the saddle on the back of the

She grew heavy, so had you covered the saddle with silk

Ṣirāṭ, I swear, farting itself would fart.

Brocatelle, the ornate saddle would rend the brocatelle.

ولَو أصْبَحتَ وحْدَكَ في بِسَاطِ ابْ

ولَو أصْبَحتَ وحْدَكَ في بِسَاطِ ابْ

نِ دَاوودٍ لَمَالَ بِكَ البِسَاطُ

نِ دَاوودٍ لَمَالَ بِكَ البِسَاطُ

And if you found yourself alone on the carpet of the son

And had you been alone on the carpet of the son of

of David, the carpet would tilt beneath you.

David, the carpet would have inclined towards you.
