وَقالوا اِستَبانَت يا اِبنَ عُروَةَ إِبنَتُك

فَقُلتُ لَهُم ما ذاكَ في حَقِّهِ نَقصُ

They said your daughter has gone astray, o son of Urwah

I said to them, how can that be a disgrace?

إِذا كانَ رَبُّ البَيتِ بِالدُفِّ مولِعاً

فَشيمَةُ أَهلِ البَيتِ كُلِهِمِ الرَقصُ

If the lord of the house has a passion for the tambourine

It is the trait of all the household to dance
