1. وَمِثلي إِذا ما الدارُ يَوماً نَبَت بِهِ

    تَحَوَّلَ عَنها وَاِستَمَرَّت مَرائِرُهْ

    And a man like me, when the dwelling one day grows inhospitable to him,

    Moves away from it, and his resolve grows firm.

  2. وَلا أَنزِلُ الدارَ المُقيمَ بِها الأَذى

    وَلا أَرأُمُ الشَيءَ الَّذي أَنا قادِرُهْ

    Nor do I settle in a dwelling where harm abides,

    Nor do I cling to a thing I have the power to leave.

  3. إِذا أَنتَ لَم تَرغَب بِدارٍ نَزَلتَها

    فَبِعها بِدارٍ أَو بِجارٍ تُجاوِرُهْ

    If you do not like a dwelling you have settled in,

    Then trade it for another dwelling, or for a neighbor you would live beside.
