1. تَاللهِ كَيدُكِ دُوْنَهُ كَيْدُ الَّتي

    أَدْمَتْ شِغَافَ القَلْبِ وهو سَليْمُ

    By God, your guile exceeds that of her who

    made the heart’s membrane bleed while it was sound.

  2. إنْ كانَ خَطْبُ الأمْسِ أحْسَبُ أنَّهُ

    يُشْفَىَ , فَإِنَّ الْخَطْبَ مِنْكِ جَسِيْمُ

    If yesterday’s affliction is one I believe

    can be healed, then the affliction from you is grievous.

  3. فَالْحُكْمُ في كَيْدِ النِّسَاءِ حَقِيقَةٌ

    مُذْ كَانَ آدَمُ في الْجِّنَانِ يُقِيْمُ

    For the judgment on women’s guile has held true

    ever since Adam dwelt in the gardens.

  4. وَلَرُبَّمَا حَسَدُ العُيُونِ قَدِ إخْتَفَى

    عَنْ أَعْيُنٍ والشَّرُ فِيهِ وَخِيمُ

    And perhaps the envy of eyes has remained hidden

    from eyes, though the evil within it is dire.
