سَرَحَت بِصاءَتِها وَأَقسَمَ عارِضٌ

سَرَحَت بِصاءَتِها وَأَقسَمَ عارِضٌ

بِاللَهِ يُطعِمُ لَحمَها وَعِصامُ

بِاللَهِ يُطعِمُ لَحمَها وَعِصامُ

She went to pasture with her afterbirth, and ʿĀriḍ swore

Her nightly whimpering is gone and an admirer swears

by God to serve her flesh as food—and so did ʿIṣām.

By God, her flesh would feed him and her bones sustain him
