1. اِبعَث لَهُ مِنَ الرُتَيلى سَقَما

    مَذبوبَةً تَبعَثُ فيهِ أَلَما

    Send him sickness from the tarantula—

    a fly-harried creature that stirs pain within him.

  2. يَظَلُّ مِنهُ لَحمُهُ مُقَسَّما

    دَهماءَ مِثَلَ العَنكبوتِ أَيِّما

    His flesh remains torn apart by it:

    a dark, widowed creature, like a spider,

  3. لَم تُبقِ بَعلاً لا وَلَم تُبقِ إِماءَ

    جَزاءَ خَطّابٍ بِما تَأَثَّما

    that spared no husband—no, nor any slave women—

    as recompense for Khattab for the sin he committed.
