زَوَّجْتُها ليقِلَّ عَتْبُ وُشاتِها

ويكونَ عندي صَفْوُهَا ومِزَاجُها

I married her off so her reproaches would lessen

And her temperament and disposition would remain with me

ما ضرَّنِي أنْ كنتُ صاحبَ ضيعةٍ

لي دَخْلُها وعلى سوايَ خَراجُها

It does not harm me that I own a small farm

With income for me and taxes for others
