لم يَبدُ ما قَد بدا لى الصوتُ والصيتُ

واللهو في موضع ما فيه جِلِّيتُ

The sound and fame that appeared to me did not begin

And frivolity in a place where my seriousness was not

وكًلَّ مَن كانَ مفتونا بزوجته

مَضمُونَ إن تَلقَهُ جِلِّتُ تَخِليتُ

And whoever was infatuated with his wife

I guaranteed if I met his wife I would leave her
