1. Umm Sakan inquires about me, and the easiest

    complaint to cure is the inquirer’s suspicion.

  2. She is no bulky-bodiced woman who, when she walks,

    plods like a crossbred horse that keeps stopping,

  3. going into every house and coming out,

    like a mangy beast rubbing and scratching its flank.

  4. But she is proud, her frame well fleshed,

    like a folded bundle of fine cloth that has never been soiled.

  5. She keeps to herself, unseen—except that

    whenever a day for people’s finery comes, she dresses up.
