1. O people of Bakr, do you not restrain your ignorant one
Abd bin Rakhsah slandering a she-goat between two grinding stones?

2. O son of her who armed herself in the house of her neighbor
So that her squeezing produced juice that injures people!

3. As though her nails were split off from rock,
Of which there remains nothing but a rough, calloused part,

4. Like monkeys, when you call upon them,
You find every base creature exposing its fangs.
