I complained to the tall woman of the length of my night.

I complained to the tall one of the length of my night

So she said, “My crop is tall like that.”

She said "That's how my height has grown"

فقلتُ لها ولي جسمٌ نحيلُ

فقالتْ هكذا خصري نحيلُ

فقالتْ هكذا خصري نحيلُ

So I said to her, “And I have a slender body.”

I said to her "Yet my body is slim"

So she said, “My waist is slender like that.”

She said "Such is my slender waist"
