1. ليسَ مَنْ قد غذاهُ طِفْلاً صغيراً

    وسقاهُ مِن ثَدْيهِ بالخذولِ

    She who nourished him as a little child

    And gave him drink from her breast is no deserter.

    من أبيه وفي قضاء الرسولِ

    She has the greater right to him and is closer in affection

    Than his father; and the Messenger's ruling is

  3. أنّهُ ما جَنَتْ عليه وَرَقّتْ

    هي أَوْلَى بذا الغلامِ الجميلِ

    That, having done him no wrong and shown tenderness,

    She has the greater right to this handsome boy.
