Note 115 — TALE OF GHANIM BIN AYYUB[79], THE DISTRAUGHT, THE THRALL O' LOVE.
Richard Francis Burton translation
It is hard to preserve these wretched puns. In the original we have "O spray" (or branch) of capparis-shrub (aráki) which has been thinned of leaf and fruit (tujna, i.e., whose fruit, the hymen, has been plucked before and not by me) I see thee (aráka) against me sinning (tajní).
