1. إن زارني عالم أو جاهل بدرت

    زوجي إليه وخاضت معه في الجَدَل

    If a scholar or an ignorant man visits me, forth rushes

    My wife to him, and she plunges into debate with him.

  2. فإن تجده خبيراً بالبعال تقل

    كل العلوم انطوت في صدر ذا الرجل

    And if she finds him skilled in lovemaking, she says:

    All the sciences lie enfolded in this man's breast.
