1. And my affliction is that my mother

    has weighed me down with my waist-wrap.

  2. So whenever I rise to walk,

    my waist threatens to snap apart.

  3. All this I carry by myself—

    where can I flee from my mother?

  4. O mother, this, by my Lord,

    is a load for a Bukharan packhorse!

  5. O mother, I am no pack-

    horse, nor a muleteer's mule.

Sol 6.1
