عَبدَ بنِ رَخصَةَ عَنزاً بَينَ أَتياسِ
O clan of Bakr, will you not restrain your fool,
O people of Bakr, do you not restrain your ignorant one
ʿAbd ibn Rakhṣa, a she-goat among he-goats?
Abd bin Rakhsah slandering a she-goat between two grinding stones?
ياO اِبنَson of الَّتيthe woman who سَلَحَتshat فيin بَيتِthe house of جارَتِهاher female neighbor
يا اِبنَ الَّتي سَلَحَت في بَيتِ جارَتِها
فَطارَso flew مِنهُfrom it عِصارٌa dust cloud يَقشِبُbefouls الناسِthe people
فَطارَ مِنهُ عِصارٌ يَقشِبُ الناسِ
O son of the woman who shat in her neighbor’s house,
O son of her who armed herself in the house of her neighbor
So from it flew a dust cloud that befouled the people.
So that her squeezing produced juice that injures people!
كَأَنَّas though أَظفارَهاher nails شُقِّقنَwere hewn مِنfrom حَجَرٍstone
كَأَنَّ أَظفارَها شُقِّقنَ مِن حَجَرٍ
فَلَيسَso there is not مِنهُنَّamong them إِلّاexcept وارِمٌswollen قاسيhard
فَلَيسَ مِنهُنَّ إِلّا وارِمٌ قاسي
As though her nails had been hewn from stone,
As though her nails were split off from rock,
Not one of them is anything but swollen and hard.
Of which there remains nothing but a rough, calloused part,
مِثلَlike القُرودِthe monkeys إِذاwhen ماemphatic particle جِئتَyou came نادِيَهُمtheir gathering
مِثلَ القُرودِ إِذا ما جِئتَ نادِيَهُم
أَلفَيتَyou found كُلَّevery دَنِيٍّbase fellow عَردُهُhis penis عاسيstiff
أَلفَيتَ كُلَّ دَنِيٍّ عَردُهُ عاسي
Like monkeys—whenever you come to their gathering,
Like monkeys, when you call upon them,
You find every vile fellow with his penis stiff.
You find every base creature exposing its fangs.
