1. I say to her when she comes to me, leading
Me to a woman described as beautiful:

2. “You have found a solution for her, sister, as she desired,
If she overlooks in me three traits:

3. Among them transgression, for which her child is not called Waleed,
And the softness of Islam, and lack of money;

4. And even if in beauty she were like Joseph,
Or Bilqis or the ideal exemplar,

5. And she says 'Marry me for a dowry of a single dirham,'
I would say 'Go away from me, for your dowry is too high.'”
