1. قَسَمَ الأُترُجَّ فِينَا

    مَلِكٌ عَدلُ اليَدَينِ

    He shared the citrons among us—

    A king, fair with both hands.

  2. لَم تَكُن قِسمَةً ضِيزَى

    بَينَ أَصحَابِي وَبَينِي

    It was no unfair division

    Between my companions and me,

  3. إِذ حَبَا فَرداً بَفَردٍ

    وَحَبَانِي بأثنَثَينِ

    For he favored each person with one,

    And favored me with two.

  4. هَكَذَا العَدلُ فَحَظَّي

    مِثلُ حَظِّ الأُنثيينِ

    Such is justice, so my share

    Equals the share of two females.
