1. لَجارِيَةٌ بَينَ السَليلِ عُروقُها

    وَبَينَ أَبي الصَهباءِ مِن آلِ خالِدِ

    Surely a maiden whose roots lie between al-Salil

    And Abu al-Sahba, of the house of Khalid,

  2. أَحَقُّ بِإِغلاءِ المُهورِ مِنَ الَّتي

    رَبَت وَهيَ تَنزو في جُحورِ الوَلائِدِ

    Is more deserving of higher dowries than the one

    Who grew up leaping in the burrows of slave girls.
