They walked toward the riding camels, already made to kneel,
I walked as though shackled, to the stirrup
as captives walk in fetters.
As prisoners walk, fettered in chains

تُغازلُنا مُلاذ الخزِّ غمداً

بأطرافِ الرّوادفِ والنّهودِ
Soft silk coverings flirt with us, sheathing them,
The scabbard caresses us, a sanctuary
with the contours of their buttocks and breasts.
With the edges of oars and chests
