بِئسَت لَقوحاً ذي العِيالِ اِمتَنَحتُما
عَلوقانِ مَن يَعطِفهُما غَيرُ مَريَمِ
Wretched are the milch camels of the man with dependents, which you two have borrowed!
Two camels that refuse to nurse—who but Maryam can coax them both?
إِذا اِحتَلَبوا شاتَيهِما في إِنائِهِم
بَدا طَعمُ صابٍ في الإِناءِ وَعَلقَمِ
When they milk their two ewes into their vessel,
The taste of spurge and colocynth appears in the vessel.
