1. يا رُبَّ عِلْقٍ واسِعِ الثُّقبَه

    مرَّتْ لنا في خَطْبَه

    Ah, many a catamite with a wide hole

    came our way in a marriage proposal.

  2. مَنْ وَلَدِ بينَ الخصى

    وبينَ فَخْذَي زَوقهِ نسِبَه

    One born between the testicles,

    and his lineage between the thighs of his zawq [text unclear].

  3. تَصيحُ رِدْفاهُ وَرا

    لاوُو وَرا أنَّ لَمنْ هَسْبَه

    His buttocks cry, “Come!”

    “Boy, come! Anna laman hasbah!” [Partly unclear.]

  4. قَضيبُ بانٍ لَم يَزَلْ عِطفه

    يُميلهُ لِلْمجتني هَبّه

    A bān-tree bough, whose flank is ever

    bent by a gust toward the fruit-picker.

  5. لهُ لِسانٌ إنْ تُثَقِّلْ لَهُ

    كَفّتَهُ طارَ على حَبّه

    He has a tongue: if you load for him

    his scale-pan, he flies upon a grain.

  6. صَحِبتُهُ في مَعْشَرٍ سادَةٍ

    أُلي عَفافٍ صالحي الصُّحْبه

    I kept his company among a band of gentlemen,

    chaste men, good companions:

  7. من كلِّ من جَعسُ فراً عندهُ

    يعدِلُ لوزِينجَةٍ رَطبَه

    each one considers wild-ass shit

    equal to a moist almond sweet.

  8. إذا رأى صِهريجَ تجدْ

    فيشَتتَهُ تسكُبُ كالقِرْبَه

    When he sees a cistern, you find

    his prick pouring like a waterskin.

  9. مُهَدَّبٌ إنْ قبلي يَقلْ

    منْ أدبٍ يا سيّدي حُجبَه

    Long-lashed: if he speaks before me,

    it is courteously: “Sir, a screen!”

  10. لمّا رأوا وَجدي بهِ زائداً

    وَفَيْشَتَي في خَطّهِ صَعْبَه

    When they saw my passion for him increasing,

    and my prick unruly at his line of down [sense unclear],

  11. قالوا ألا دونَكُمُ

    كبيرةً ناعمةً صُلبَه

    they said, “Look, here you are:

    a large, soft, firm one!

  12. وَجَرِّباً حِنّا على

    واحسبْ أنّها خَضْبَه

    And try henna on it;

    and reckon it a dyeing.”

  13. حتى إذا صِرنا إلى مَنْزلٍ

    مُصوَّقِ الحيطانِ والقبّه

    Until, when we came to a house

    with decorated walls and dome [reading uncertain],

  14. وَهوَ على أربعٍ

    منْ خَنثٍ يَرْقصُ كالدبّة

    he was on all fours,

    dancing effeminately like a she-bear.

  15. ولم يزلْ يَرفَعُها كُلّما

    جَرَرْتُ حتّى تمّتِ

    And he kept raising it whenever

    I pulled, until it was done.

  16. وَرِفقتي إذْ عايَنتْ

    لي وَثبَةَ على الكلبه

    And my companions, when they saw

    my leap upon the bitch—

  17. ثمَّ أنثنى بعدِ عِناقي وَقَد

    صَيّرَهُ أضمَرَ مِن قَسبْه

    then he turned away after my embrace, which had

    made him leaner than a dried date.

  18. يقولُ لي يا باخَوي اكوبا

    زاراوكي قلتُ خُذِ الجبّة

    He says to me, “O bākhaway, akūbā

    zārāwkī!” [Unclear.] I said, “Take the robe.”

  19. فَقالَ منمْ غَيظٍ هلويابسي

    لا وانكا كرَّبِسي قَهْبَه

    He said in anger, “Halwiyābsī [unclear]!

    No! Wankā karrabisī [unclear], whore!”

  20. قلتُ إذا لا يَنقفلْ ينفَتحْ

    ولا تكأكأ أكسر الضّبَه

    I said, “If it will not shut, it will open.

    And do not draw back; I will break the bolt.”

  21. وقُمْتُ أعدو مُستجيراً بمن

    منزلُهُ للمُجتَدي كعبَه

    And I sprang up and ran, seeking refuge with one

    whose home is a Kaaba for the seeker of bounty.
