1. I have a friend who left women behind
Out of pretentiousness and took to loving boys
١. لي صاحِبٌ تَرَكَ النِساءَ تَظَرُّفاً
مِنهُ وَمالَ إِلى هَوى الغِلمانِ
2. One day I reproached him when I saw him
Befriending so-and-so for so-and-so
٢. فَعَذَلتُهُ يَوماً وَقَد أَبصَرتُهُ
يُعنى بِقَودِ فُلانَةٍ لِفُلانِ
3. He answered me saying sodomy, when it becomes habitual
Has made me bored of women
٣. فَأَجابَني إِنَّ اللُواطَ إِذا عَتا
قَد بَنثَني قَوداً عَلى النِسوانِ
