So the Arabs said, 'Burqash brings harm upon her people.'

براقش كانت امرأة لبعض الملوك، فسافر الملك واستخلفها، وكان لهم موضع إذا فزعوا دخنوا فيه، فيجتمع الجند إذا أبصروه، وإن جواريها عبثن ليلة، فدخن، فاجتمعوا، فقيل لها، إن رددتيهم، ولم تستعمليهم في شيء فدخنتم لم يأتك أحد مرة أخرى، فأمرتهم فبنوا بناء دون دارها، فلما جاء الملك سأل عن البناء، فأخبر بالقصة، فقال: على أهلها تجني براقش، فصارت مثلا يضرب لمن يعمل عملا يرجع ضرره عليه

Burqash was the wife of one of the kings. The king traveled and left her in charge. They had a place where, if they were alarmed, they would light a fire, and the soldiers would gather when they saw it. One night, her maids played around, and a fire was lit, and they gathered. She was told, 'If you send them back and do not use them for anything, and they light a fire, no one will come to you again.' So she ordered them to build a structure near her house. When the king arrived, he asked about the structure and was told the story. He said, 'Burqash brings harm upon her people,' and it became a proverb for one who does an act whose harm returns upon himself.

فقالت براقش: هذا من لحم جزور، قال: أو لحوم الإبل كلها هكذا في الطيب

She said, 'Make it plentiful,' as in the manuscripts, and the correct reading is 'We made it plentiful and enjoyed it,' so she sent it as a proverb, meaning 'We fed the camel and you eat from it.'
