1. كُلُّ ذي أُبنَةٍ لَهُ واحِدٌ يَعـ

    ـلوهُ في حالِ نَيلِهِ إِيّاهُ

    Every man of status has one who raises him when he attains it

    And he has five mighty slaves who resemble him

  2. وَلَهُ مِن عَبيدِهِ خَمسَةٌ سو

    دٌ كِبارٌ أُيودُهُم أَشباهُ

    One above him and another who fills his regulated Ptolemaic mouth

    And his hands are at the origin of his boys' hands for pleasure

  3. واحِدٌ فَوقَهُ وَآخَرُ يَحشو

    بَطلَيموسِهِ المُقَوَّمِ فاهُ

    And another at his nape

  4. وَيَداهُ في أَصلِ أَيدَي غُلامَيـ

    ــهِ التِذاذاً وَآخَرٌ لِقَفاهُ
