إِذا لَم يَكُن عند امرىءٍ لي مُعوَّلُ

صفحتُ وَعاتبتُ الَّتي هيَ أَجمَلُ

If a man has no one to rely upon

I forgive and blame the one who is most beautiful

أَخِفُّ بثقلي ما اِستطعتُ وَإِنَّما

أَدلُّ إِذا ما كانَ لي متدلّلُ

I bear as much of my burden as I can, but

I only complain when I have someone to complain to
