for him alone a vulva at the rear.
Him alone free behind the veil.

And indeed I said to Masʿūd, the day he strutted
And I said on the day when he leaned toward Mas'ud
and cast off his veil of shame:
And cast off from him the cloak of modesty:

"The tattler told me something about you,
so fear God regarding your foul-smelling anus.
So fear God in covering your shame.

And ask your two sisters about the sweetness of adultery."
