أشار عليَّ الزين بالمرد لا النسا

فخالفته حتَّى انْقضى العمر في كدر

Al-Zain advised me against women, not life itself,

But I disobeyed him until my life passed in sorrow.

فيا ليت أمِّي لم تلدني وليتني

رجعت إلى القول الذي قاله عمر

Oh, would that my mother had not given birth to me! Would that

I had returned to the words spoken by Umar!
