1. لَنا أَرَبٌ لَم نَقضِهِ مِنكَ فَاِدَّكِر

    لَكَ الخَيرُ هَل بَعدَ الحِمامِ تَلاقِ

    We have a need of you still unmet; so remember.

    May good be yours! Is there reunion after death?

  2. أَرى أُمَّ دَفرٍ أَخلَقَتني وَجُزتُها

    إِلى غَيرِها سَيراً بِغَيرِ خَلاقِ

    I see that Umm Dafr—Mother of Stench—has worn me out, and I have passed beyond her

    to another, journeying without a share of good.

  3. سَتَأخُذُ إِرثي وَهِيَ في غَيرِ عِدَّةٍ

    وَمُذ زَمَنٍ جَهَّزتُها بِطَلاقِ

    She will take my estate, though she is in no waiting period,

    and some time ago I furnished her with a divorce.
