أُكَثِّرُ أَهلي مِن عِيالٍ سِواهُمُ

وَأَطوي عَلى الماءِ القَراحِ المُبَرَّدِ

I have many dependents besides them

And I skim over the cooled, bitter water

إِذا المَرءُ لَم يُشبِه أَباهُ وَجَدَّهُ

وَأُقحِمَ إِقحاماً فَلَم يَتَسَدَّدِ

When a man does not resemble his father or grandfather

And he barges in without hesitation
