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 was turned into affliction.

حَظِيَ الرَّدى بِكَ إِذْ غَدَتْ

حَظِيَ الرَّدى بِكَ إِذْ غَدَتْ

لَكَ بِنْتُ عَمّارٍ حَظيَّه

لَكَ بِنْتُ عَمّارٍ حَظيَّه

Death was lucky to have you when she became

your favorite—the daughter of Ammar.

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, puny stature?

أًنْتَ البَعوضَةُ قِلَّةً

أًنْتَ البَعوضَةُ قِلَّةً

وكَأَنَّها جَمَلُ الضَّحيَّه

وكَأَنَّها جَمَلُ الضَّحيَّه

You are a mosquito in smallness,

and 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, splinter-like:

مَنْ لَيْسَ تُشْبِعُهُ الهَريسَ

مَنْ لَيْسَ تُشْبِعُهُ الهَريسَ

ةُ كَيْفَ تُشْبِعُهُ القَليَّه

ةُ كَيْفَ تُشْبِعُهُ القَليَّه

"One whom harisa porridge does not satisfy—

how can a fried dish satisfy him?"

فَلَوْ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِما

فَلَوْ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِما

عِنْدَ ارْتِكابِهِما الخَطيَّه

عِنْدَ ارْتِكابِهِما الخَطيَّه

So, had you looked upon the two of them

as they committed 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

‘Anqa that had snatched a little girl.
