إِذا العَجُوزُ غَضِبَتْ فَطَلِّقْ

إِذا العَجُوزُ غَضِبَتْ فَطَلِّقْ

وَلا تَرَضّاها وَلا تَمَلَّقْ

وَلا تَرَضّاها وَلا تَمَلَّقْ

If the old woman grows angry, then divorce her.

If the old woman gets angry, divorce her

Do not appease her, nor flatter her.

And do not appease or flatter her

وَاعْمِدْ لأُخْرَى ذاتِ دَلٍّ مُؤْنِقْ

وَاعْمِدْ لأُخْرَى ذاتِ دَلٍّ مُؤْنِقْ

لَيِّنَةِ المَسِّ كَمَسِّ الخِرْنِقْ

لَيِّنَةِ المَسِّ كَمَسِّ الخِرْنِقْ

And seek another woman with delightful coquetry,

And turn to another one with a soft and delicate touch

Soft to the touch, like the touch of a young hare,

As soft as silk and delicate as velvet

إِذا مَضَتْ فِيهِ السِياطُ المُشَّقْ

إِذا مَضَتْ فِيهِ السِياطُ المُشَّقْ

When the long, slender whips pass through it.

If whips have entered into it
