أَبقى لَها التَعداءُ مِن عَتَداتِها

أَبقى لَها التَعداءُ مِن عَتَداتِها

وِمُتونِها كَخُيوطَةِ الكِتّانِ

وِمُتونِها كَخُيوطَةِ الكِتّانِ

Hard galloping has left her, of her muscular bulk

Her audacity remains from her transgressions

And her back, only threads like those of flax.

And her qualities like threads of linen
