فَبِتُّ وَباتَت إِلى جانِبي

يَعُدُّ المَنازِلَ فيها كِلانا

So I spent the night—and she spent it—beside me,

each of us counting the Mansions within her.

تُريني البُطَينَ وَلَكِنَّني

أُقارِضُها فَأُريها الزُبانا

She showed me the twin wonders; but I

traded like for like, and showed her the Claws.
