1. إن مظلومةَ التي

    زوِّجَتْ مِنْ أبي عُمَرْ

    Indeed, Mazluma, who

    was married to Abu Umar,

  2. ولدَتْ لَيْلَةَ الزفا

    فِ إلى بَعْلِها ذَكَرْ

    gave birth on her wedding night

    to a son for her husband.

  3. قُلْتُ من أيْنَ ذا الغُلا

    مُ وما مسَّهَا بَشَرْ

    I said, “Where did this boy come from,

    when no human has touched her?”

  4. قال لي بعْلُها أَلَمْ

    يأتِ في مُسْنَدِ الخَبَرْ

    Her husband said to me, “Has it not

    been stated in a transmitted report:

  5. وَلَدُ المرءِ للفِرا

    شِ وللعاهِرِ الحَجَرْ

    ‘A man's child belongs to the marriage bed,

    and the adulterer gets the stone’?”

  6. قلت هُنِّيْتَهُ عَلَى

    رَغْمِ من خَالَفَ الخَبَرْ

    I said, “Congratulations on him, in

    spite of anyone who contradicts the report.”
