1. ما كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أَنَّ الدَهرَ يُمهِلُني

    حَتّى أَرى أَحَداً يَهجوهُ لا أَحَدُ

    I did not expect that time would grant me respite

    Until I see someone criticizing it, no one

  2. إِنّي لَأَعجَبُ مِمَّن في حَقيبَتِهِ

    مِنَ المَنِيِّ بُحورٌ كَيفَ لا يَلِدُ

    I wonder at him who has in his bag

    Torrents of semen, how does he not beget?

  3. فَإِن سَمِعتَ لَهُ نَعتَ القَنا عَبَثاً

    فَقَد أَرادَ قَناً لَيسَت لَهُ عُقَدُ

    So if you hear him attribute sterility in vain

    He meant a sterility that has no causation
