If the profligate spendthrift sold his daughters

إذا الهشم الفه اشترى ببناته

1. If the profligate spendthrift sold his daughters
Your diligence did not patch up my defects

١. إذا الهَشِمُ الفَهُّ اشترى ببناته
وجدِّك لم أرقع بهن خلالي

2. I made my daughters slaves in their mansions
And I was not concerned with splendor and beauty

٢. جعلت بناتي في مواليَّ قَصرةً
وما راعني ذو شورة وجمال

3. And I was not concerned with an empty and cold cloud
Or the long reach of an outstretched rope

٣. وما راعني شَكد وبُردَا سحابة
ولا ذرع نوبي أشق طوال

4. I saw the near ones respond to my call
My masters, not the strangers who were not loyal

٤. رأيت الأُلى يأتون للحق دعوتي
مواليَّ والأُقصَينَ غيرُ موالي

5. And I do not reveal to anyone the pillar of his house
And I leave my house empty out of pride

٥. ولست ببان لامرىء سَمكَ بيته
وأترك بيتي خاويا بخمال
