1. أَيرُ عَمّارٍ أَصبَحَ ال

    يَومَ رَخواً قَدِ اِنكَسَر

    Ammar's cock has become

    limp today, already broken.

  2. أَلِداءٍ يُرى بِهِ

    أَم مِنَ الهَمِّ وَالضَجَر

    Is it from an illness apparent in it,

    or from worry and vexation?

  3. أَم بِهِ أُخذَةٌ فَقَد

    تُطلِقُ الأُخذَةُ النُشَر

    Or is it under a binding spell? For sometimes

    counter-charms undo the spell.

  4. فَلَئِن كانَ قَوَّسَ ال

    يَومَ أَو عَضَّهُ الكِبَر

    So even if it has grown bent

    today, or old age has bitten it,

  5. فَلَقِدماً قَضى وَنا

    لَ مِنَ اللَذَّةِ الوَطَر

    yet long ago it fulfilled and

    attained its desire for pleasure.

  6. وَلَقَد كُنتُ مُنعِظاً

    أَبَداً قائِمَ الذَكَر

    And indeed I used to be hard,

    my penis always erect.

  7. وَأَنا اليَومَ لَو أَرى ال

    حورَ عِندي لَما اِنتَشَر

    And today, even if I saw the

    houris beside me, it would not rise.

  8. ساقِطٌ رَأسُهُ عَلى

    خُصيَتَيهِ بِهِ زَوَر

    Its head droops onto

    its testicles; it is crooked.

  9. كُلَّما سُمتُهُ النُّهو

    ضَ إِلى كُوَّةٍ عَثَر

    Whenever I urge it to

    rise toward an opening, it stumbles.
