1. وَعَلى سَلبها الوقارَ فَكَم أه

    دَت ثباتاً إلى وقارِ الحليمِ

    And despite her stripping away dignity, how often she has bestowed

    steadfastness upon the dignity of the forbearing man!

  2. وأَذمَّت كرامَ قَومٍ فذُمَّت

    وَذمامُ الكرام غيرُ ذميمِ

    And she brought blame upon a people's noble men, so she was blamed;

    and the pledged protection of noble men is not blameworthy.
