قامَ إِلَيها رَجُلٌ فيهِ عُنُف

قامَ إِلَيها رَجُلٌ فيهِ عُنُف

لَهُ ذراعٌ ذاتُ نيرَينِ وَكَف

لَهُ ذراعٌ ذاتُ نيرَينِ وَكَف

A rough man stepped up to her.

A violent man stood up towards her

He had an arm with twin muscular ridges, and a hand.

With arms of double strength and palm

فَقَذّها بَينَ قَفاها وَالكَتِف

فَقَذّها بَينَ قَفاها وَالكَتِف

فيها كُسورٌ رَعِماتٌ وَسُدُف

فيها كُسورٌ رَعِماتٌ وَسُدُف

Then he struck her between her nape and shoulder.

So he smashed her between her nape and shoulder

In it were fleshy folds and lumps of fat.

In it were fractures, gashes, and contusions

وَاِستَيقَنَت أَنَّ الصَليف مُنعَسِف

وَاِستَيقَنَت أَنَّ الصَليف مُنعَسِف

كَأَنَّها غَلثى من الرَخم تَدِف

كَأَنَّها غَلثى من الرَخم تَدِف

And she knew for certain that her neckbone was broken.

And she was certain that the wicked one was brutal

As though she were a surfeited vulture, fluttering close to the ground.

As if she was lifeless refuse cast off
