وماand not وصفُdescribing الهزيلةِthe thin woman مِنْpart of مراديmy aim
وما وصفُ الهزيلةِ مِنْ مرادي
ولستُand I do not أريدُdesire إلاexcept ذاتَa woman possessing شحمِfat
ولستُ أريدُ إلا ذاتَ شحمِ

وهلْ تحكي قُمامَةُ بيتَ لحمِ

And can Qumamah resemble Bayt Lahm?
Can Qumama speak of the house of Bethlehem?
