يا رب بيت ربه

فيه تضايق مستقره

O Lord, in a home

Distress has settled,

لما تكاثر فأره

وجفاه بعد الوصل هره

When its mice multiplied

And abandoned it after union.

وسعى الى برج امريء

فيه اللفراخ كما يسره

It headed to Amri's tower

With chicks as he wished.

ظن المنافع اكلها

فاذا منافعها تضره

He thought he would eat the benefits

But instead the benefits harmed him.
