1. ذَكَرنا الديونَ فَجادَلَتنا

    جِدالكَ في الدَّينِ بَلَّا حلوفا

    We mentioned the debts, so you argued with us,

    as you argue over debt with a stubborn man much given to oaths.

  2. وَجَدْتُ العَواذِلَ يَنْهينَهُ

    وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَزْهِفُهُنَّ الزُّيوفا

    I found the reproaching women forbidding it,

    and I used to pass off counterfeit coins on them.

  3. وَإِن أَلِجِ البَيتَ مُدْجى الغِطاءِ

    أنائِم في البَيتِ صَوْتاً ضَعيفا

    And if I enter the house, wrapped in my covering,

    I murmur in the house in a feeble voice.
