1. أتوني فلم أرضَ ما بيّتوا

    وكانوا أتَوني بشيء نُكر

    They came to me, but I rejected what they had plotted by night.

    They had come to me with something outrageous:

  2. لأنكحَ أيمهُمُ مُنذراً

    وهل يُنكِحُ العبدَ حُرّ لُحر

    That I should give their bachelor, Mundhir, a bride—

    And would a truly freeborn man give a slave a bride?
