1. إِذا رَأَيتَ بَني وَهبٍ بِمَنزِلَةٍ

    لَم تَدرِ أَيُّهُمُ الأُنثى مِنَ الذَكَرِ

    When you see the sons of Wahb in one place,

    You cannot tell which of them is female and which is male.

  2. قَميصُ أُنثاهُمُ يَنقَدُّ مِن قُبُلٍ

    وَقمصُ ذُكرانِهِم تَنقَدُّ مِن دُبُرِ

    Their female's shirt is torn at the front,

    And their males' shirts are torn from behind.

  3. مُحَنَّكونَ عَلى الفَحشاءِ في صِغَرٍ

    مُحَنَّكونَ عَلى الفَحشاءِ في كِبَرٍ

    Seasoned in lewdness in childhood,

    Seasoned in lewdness in old age,

  4. مُحَنَّكونَ وَلَم تُقطَع سَرائِرُهُم

    بَينَ الحَواضِنِ وَالداياتِ بِالكَمَدِ

    Seasoned before their umbilical cords are even cut,

    Among nursemaids and midwives, with grief.
