1. رَباع أَقَبُّ البَطْنِ جَأْبٌ مُطَرَّدٌ

    بِلَحْيَيْهِ صَكُّ المُغْزياتِ الرَواكِلِ

    A four-year-old wild ass, lean-bellied, sturdy and well-proportioned;

    with his two jaws he batters the resistant, kicking she-asses.

  2. فَما تَرَكَا مِنْ عُوذَةٍ يَعْرِفَانِها

    وَلا رُقَيْةٍ إِلَّا بِها رَقَيَانِي

    So the two left no protective charm they knew,

    nor any healing incantation, without reciting it over me.
