1. I saw men who disliked their daughters
Yet in them are virtuous women who cannot be denied
١. رَأَيتُ رِجالاً يَكرَهونَ بَناتِهِم
وَفيهِنَّ لا تُكذَب نِساءٌ صَوالِحُ
2. And in them, as time trips up the youth
Are habits that do not bore him, and lamentations
٢. وَفيهِنَّ وَالأَيامُ تَعثُرُ بِالفَتى
عَوائِدُ لا يَملَلنَهُ وَنَوائِحُ
