1. نزا بعضُ المجانين

    على شيخٍ له مالُ

    One of the madmen mounted

    an old man who had wealth.

  2. وقد ضمَّهما الحِمَّا

    مُ والمجنون صوّالُ

    The bathhouse had brought them both together,

    and the madman was fierce.

  3. وكان الشيخُ رجراجاً

    له لحمٌ وأوصالُ

    The old man was flabby,

    with ample flesh and limbs.

  4. فأوعى جوفه المجنو

    ن جُردانا له حالُ

    So the madman filled the old man's belly

    with a formidable stallion's cock.

  5. فصاح الشيخ بالناسِ

    وفي الحمَّامِ أجيالُ

    The old man cried out to the people,

    and crowds were in the bathhouse.

  6. فلما كثُر القيل

    على المجنونِ والقالُ

    When the talk grew loud

    against the madman, and the chatter,

  7. ووافتْهُ من الأيدي

    كرانيبٌ وأسطالُ

    and from their hands there came at him

    bath vessels and pails,

  8. إذا المجنونُ قد قامَ

    وللغُرمولِ دِلدالُ

    suddenly the madman stood up,

    his huge cock dangling,

  9. يُعيد القولَ مرَّاتٍ

    يرَونا نشتهي قالوا

    repeating the words over and over:

    “They see us lusting—and they speak up!”
