فَوَاللَهِ ما أَدري وَكُلٌّ مُصيبَةٌ

بِأَيِّ مَكيداتِ النِساءِ أُكادُ

By Allah, I know not, and every misfortune

By what plots of women I am nearly undone.

غُرورُ مَواعيدٍ كَأَنَّ جَداءَها

جَدى بارِقاتٍ مُزنُهُنَّ جَمادُ

Vain promises, as though their cords

Were live coals whose heat is never gone.
