فوجدتُهاso I found it جَرّارةًa tail-dragging scorpion مَجْرورَهْdragged along
فوجدتُها جَرّارةً مَجْرورَهْ
And indeed I drew toward me the scorpion of her temple,
I drew close a scorpion, stinger poised,
and found it a tail-dragger, itself dragged along.
And found it dragging and being dragged.
وكشفتُand I uncovered ليلةَon the night وصلِهاof union with her عنfrom ساقِهاher leg
وكشفتُ ليلةَ وصلِها عن ساقِها
فرأيتُهاso I saw it مِمْكارةًbeguiling مَمْكورَهْrounded and shapely
فرأيتُها مِمْكارةً مَمْكورَهْ
And on the night of union with her, I uncovered her leg,
I unveiled the night it came to couple
and saw it beguiling and shapely.
And saw it sly and being outwitted.
