1. O Aladdin the hoped for, aid me
And save me from what has afflicted me, save me

2. From an old, toothless, scheming hag
Who displayed that ugly display

3. The describers have gone overboard about her, and said
A child in years, possessing money and beauty

4. So I married her, and God - may he be praised
Has, by my marrying her, denied me happiness

5. Hoping she would enrich my eyes, but God has disappointed my hopes
Except that I have been compensated better than her

6. If I contemplate, while she is poorer than me
So find me a way to be free of her

7. And pity me, for I have put myself in pawn
