1. Suleima says to her neighbors,
"I see Thabit weak and frail,

2. Woe to her, she found Thabit
With limp hands and no strength.

3. His legs don't tremble in fright
When the brave men attack.

4. He misses his steed when called
And covers his shame with lies.

5. The boastful one is humiliated
And the arrogant is brought low.

6. And Ahdam's cloak is torn
As the truthful one tears the liar's robes.

7. Until dawn ended his exploits
And the night shredded his cloak,

8. Over embers that consumed him
I fled him turning this way and that.

9. So I woke and the ghoul was my neighbor,
Oh neighbor, how awful you are!

10. I asked her for my virginity back
But she turned with a twisted face.

11. I said look and see what you see,
She turned and I lunged to attack.

12. The daughter of a Jinn flew off
Having created this burden.

13. When I confronted her gently
She fled before I could draw my sword,

14. A hill whose saddles are stitched
From untwisted palm leaves.

15. Let whoever asks where my neighbor went,
Know she has a home in the twisted valley.

16. Whenever I decide and determine
To do a thing, I do it."
