A virtuous woman should not sit

لاتجلسن حرة موفقة

1. A virtuous woman should not sit
With a man who is not her husband or close kin.

١. لاتَجلِسَن حُرَّةٌ مُوَفَّقَةٌ
مَع اِبنِ زَوجٍ لَها وَلا خَتَنِ

2. That is better for her and most safe
For humankind. Truly, youth and temptations

٢. فَذاكَ خَيرٌ لَها وَأَسلَمُ لِل
إِنسانِ إِنَّ الفَتى مَعَ الفِتَنِ

3. Walk hand in hand.
Always guard your virtue in youth

٣. وَدُم عَلى غَيرَةِ الصِبا أَبَداً
وَلا تَعُد في الشَبابِ ثُمَّ تَني

4. And count not on returning when old and gray
As if events in life

٤. كَأَنَّما الحادِثاتُ في الآفاقِ
بَعضُ السَحائِبِ الهُتُنِ

5. Were just passing clouds.
No people were ever ruined

٥. ما خُتِنَ القَومُ بِاِختِيارِهِم
إِذ جُلِبوا مِن طِرازٍ أَو خَتَنِ
