What ails ʿIyāḍ? May a ruthless cutter lop off both his testicles,
A mount that clove his loins with Moses' staff -
With a razor—a circumciser from among the flat-nosed folk!
Two circumcised noses of unblemished chastity -
فَكَمfor how many دَنَّساthe two defiled مِنof فَرجِa vulva بَيضاءَfair-skinned حُرَّةٍfreeborn
فَكَم دَنَّسا مِن فَرجِ بَيضاءَ حُرَّةٍ
كَأَنَّهُماas though the two of them خَلفَbehind اِستِهاher arse جُعَلانِtwo dung beetles
كَأَنَّهُما خَلفَ اِستِها جُعَلانِ
For those two have defiled many a fair-skinned, freeborn woman's vulva,
Defiled so many a maiden's precious pearl,
As though they were two dung beetles behind her arse.
As though behind her back they worked as one.
