1. هُوَ اِبنُ مُنضجاتٍ كُنَّ قِدماً

    يَزِدنَ عَلى العَديدِ قِرابَ شَهرِ

    He is the son of women who, long ago, carried past term,

    Exceeding the reckoned term by nearly a month.

  2. وَلَم يَكُ يَاِبنَ كاشِفَةِ الضَواحي

    كَأَنَّ غُرورَها اِعشارُ قِدرِ

    And he was not, O son of her who bares her limbs,

    As though her folds were shards of a cooking pot.
