I said, when I saw in the seat of honor
When I saw in al-Dass
An effeminate fellow full of coquetry,
A brother, delicate and feminine

Feigning sorrow with coquettish airs,
Coquetting flirtatiously,
And wearing kohl and earrings,
Intoxicated and disheveled,

With a foul-smelling mouth—whenever
With a mouth that, however much

It entertained a companion with the newest tales,
