1. وَأُعرِضُ عَن مَطاعِمَ قَد أَراها

    فَأَترُكُها وَفي بَطني اِنطِواءُ

    And I turn away from dishes I may see,

    So I leave them, though my belly is drawn tight with hunger.

  2. فَلا وَأَبيكَ ما في العَيشِ خَيرٌ

    وَلا الدُنيا إِذا ذَهَبَ الحَياءُ

    No, by your father, there is no good in life,

    Nor in this world, when modesty is gone.
