وَأَفسى مِنَ الظَربانِ في لَيلَةِ الكَرى

وَأَفسى مِنَ الظَربانِ في لَيلَةِ الكَرى

وَأَخلَفُ مِن صَقرٍ وَإِن كانَ قَد طَعِم

وَأَخلَفُ مِن صَقرٍ وَإِن كانَ قَد طَعِم

And more flatulent than a skunk on a night of slumber,

More lost than the swallow in the dark night of destiny

And fouler of breath than a falcon, even if it has eaten.

More faithless than the falcon, though he was well-fed
