1. أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ أُختَ بَني قُشَيرٍ

    أَبى شَيطانُها إِلّا جِماحا

    Have you not seen that the sister of Banu Qushayr

    Has a devil who would accept nothing but headstrong defiance?

  2. فَإِن يَكُ فاتَها بِالمِصرِ بَعلٌ

    فَقَد لَقِيَت بِمافَرَتا نِكاحا

    For if a husband has eluded her in the city,

    She has indeed found marriage in Mafarta.
