يا مَنْ أَحَلَّ به الرَّزِيَّه

يا مَنْ أَحَلَّ به الرَّزِيَّه

وأَعادَ نِعْمَته بَلِيَّه

وأَعادَ نِعْمَته بَلِيَّه

O you upon whom calamity has been brought,

and whose blessing has been turned into affliction!

حَظِيَ الرَّدى بِكَ إِذْ غَدَتْ

حَظِيَ الرَّدى بِكَ إِذْ غَدَتْ

لَكَ بِنْتُ عَمّارٍ حَظيَّه

لَكَ بِنْتُ عَمّارٍ حَظيَّه

Death was fortunate to have you when

ʿAmmār’s daughter became your favorite.

قُلْ لي وَكَيْفَ سلا

قُلْ لي وَكَيْفَ سلا

مَعَ ذُلِّ قَامَتِكَ القَميَّه

مَعَ ذُلِّ قَامَتِكَ القَميَّه

Tell me: how did he find solace,

with your lowly, stunted stature?

أًنْتَ البَعوضَةُ قِلَّةً

أًنْتَ البَعوضَةُ قِلَّةً

وكَأَنَّها جَمَلُ الضَّحيَّه

وكَأَنَّها جَمَلُ الضَّحيَّه

You are a mosquito in size,

while she is like a sacrificial camel.

نُبِئْتُها قالَتْ وقَدْ

نُبِئْتُها قالَتْ وقَدْ

بَصُرَتْ بِأَركَ كَالشَّظيَّه

بَصُرَتْ بِأَركَ كَالشَّظيَّه

I was told she said, when

she saw your penis, like a splinter:

مَنْ لَيْسَ تُشْبِعُهُ الهَريسَ

مَنْ لَيْسَ تُشْبِعُهُ الهَريسَ

ةُ كَيْفَ تُشْبِعُهُ القَليَّه

ةُ كَيْفَ تُشْبِعُهُ القَليَّه

"Whoever is not filled by wheat-and-meat porridge—

how can fried food fill him?"

فَلَوْ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِما

فَلَوْ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِما

عِنْدَ ارْتِكابِهِما الخَطيَّه

عِنْدَ ارْتِكابِهِما الخَطيَّه

So if you had looked upon the two of them

in the act of committing the sin,

لَذَكَرْتَ في شَخْصيهِما ال

لَذَكَرْتَ في شَخْصيهِما ال

عَنْقاءَ قَدْ خَطَفَتْ صَبيَّه

عَنْقاءَ قَدْ خَطَفَتْ صَبيَّه

you would have recalled, in their two figures, the

ʿAnqāʾ that had snatched up a little girl.
