1. Tell the beauty in the dark veil
Like the sun through the slanted clouds
١. قُلْ لِلْمَلِيْحَةِ فِي الخِمَارِ الأكْحَلِ
كَالشَّمْسِ مِنْ خَلَلِ الغَمَامِ المُنْجَلِي
2. By the life of your beauty, be good and by the right of Him
Who made beauty incumbent upon you, be most beautiful
٢. بِحَيَاةِ حُسْنِكِ أَحْسِنِي وَبِحَقِّ مَنْ
جَعَلَ الجَمَالَ عَلَيْكِ وَقْفَاً أَجْمِلِي
3. Do not accept the words of backbiters, for I
Did not listen to the words of slanderers about you
٣. لاَ تَقْبَلِي قَوْلَ الوُشَاةِ فَإِنَّنِي
لَمْ أُصْغِ فِيْكِ إِلَى مَقَالِ العُذَّلِ
4. I seek refuge for you from another who would trouble
The clearness of the first with the words of slanderers
٤. إِنِّي اُعِيْذُكِ أَنْ يُكَدِّرَ آخِرٌ
بِمَقَالَةِ الوَاشِيْنَ صَفْوَ الأَوَّلِ
