إِذا ظَعَنَت عَنّا بِجادٌ فَلا دَنَت

وَلا رَجَعَت حاشا مُعَيَّةَ وَالجَعدِ

When the maid turns away in dismissal, neither comes near

Nor returns, except Mu'ayyah and Al-Ja'd.

أُكُلُّ بِجادٍ فاقَدَ اللَهُ بَينَهُم

كَحَيَّةَ يَستَهدي الطَعامَ وَلا يُهدي

I hate every maid who, may God destroy relations between them,

Is like a serpent who seeks food but cannot find it.
