1. The brother-in-law of the bride, a foolish young man, whose grandfather had died
And he had also died, after his father had died before him
١. أخو الزّوجة الغرّا الذي مات جدّه
وقد مات عنه بعدما مات عنه أبْ
2. And the reason being, the grandfather had married his son
To a woman who then gave birth to a boy, nothing surprising in that
٢. وذاك أنّ الجدَّ زوّج نَجْلَه
بأمٍّ لها جاءت بنجل ولا عَجَبْ
3. So her brother inherits what remains, because he
Is a male heir to our two deceased, and he takes precedence
٣. فيحوي أخوها ما تبقّى لأنّه
لِمَيِّتِنا نَجْلُ ابْنِهِ فهو قد عَصَبْ
4. So this is my helpful answer to the questioner
Even if the wording does not fully meet what is required
٤. فهذا جوابي مُسْعِفاً فيه سائلاً
وإنْ لم يُوَفِّ اللّفْظُ منه بها وَجَبْ
