لَنا أَرَبٌ لَم نَقضِهِ مِنكَ فَاِدَّكِر

لَكَ الخَيرُ هَل بَعدَ الحِمامِ تَلاقِ

We have a debt to you we have not yet paid, so be reminded

Goodness to you, after estrangement will we meet?

أَرى أُمَّ دَفرٍ أَخلَقَتني وَجُزتُها

إِلى غَيرِها سَيراً بِغَيرِ خَلاقِ

I see Umm Dafr, who raised me and I rewarded her

By leaving for another without any qualm

سَتَأخُذُ إِرثي وَهِيَ في غَيرِ عِدَّةٍ

وَمُذ زَمَنٍ جَهَّزتُها بِطَلاقِ

She will take my inheritance though not in waiting period

And long ago I divorced her in separation
