My companion said to me, after being slapped
My friend said to me, smitten by the
By wafts of dung from a servant boy’s mouth:
Breezes of sighs in spring:

“May God curse the night I spent
"Curse the night I spent
With my companion, as though we were in a latrine!”
With my companion as though we were in a thatched hut."
