1. أَلا قَبَحَ اللَهُ الكَرَوَّسَ وَالَّتي

    مَشَت سَنَةً في بَطنِها بِالكَرَوَّسِ

    Lo, may God disgrace al-Karawwas and the woman

    who walked for a year with al-Karawwas in her womb.

  2. أَعِثيانُ إِن تُشرِف عَلى شِعبِ ضاحِكٍ

    تَجِد فيهِ أَوصالَ القَعودِ المُكَردَسِ

    O ʿIthyān, if you look down upon the ravine of Ḍāḥik,

    you will find there the limbs of the young camel cast down in a heap.
