أَرى أَجَأً مِن وَراءِ الشَقيقِ

وَالصَهوِ زُوِّجَها عامِرُ

Behind the veil, I see an unwed girl

Whose husband they have paired with fertile land

وَقَد زَوَّجوها وَقَد عَنَسَت

وَقَد أَيقَنوا أَنَّها عاقِرُ

They wed her, but she did not conceive

And they knew she was barren sand

فَإِن يَكُ أَمرٌ بِأَعجازِها

فَإِنّي عَلى صَدرِها حاجِرُ

If her fate is tied to her infertility

Then upon her bosom, I will build a dam
