1. If the stars of beautiful eyes were veiled
In every body is its sickness and languor

2. Beauties in it that are equally
From every lover striving to borrow them

3. We complained to her of illness while she was sick
So why are we suffering what we asked her to save us from

4. And we have more right to shy from the gazelles
And she was not charged with that so why is she shying

5. And when we divided the night in two halves
The dwelling of she who swerved from the eye its turn

6. To the right and to the left, either visiting it hereby
Or taking comfort thereby where it was

7. And forbidden with fasting every month
Thirty days then her months come

8. The soul of the youth craves her while she is harmful
So strange is the harmful one it does not change her

9. And the text of the Book forbade her then we came
With making her lawful the text of passion and its guide

10. And Shawwal came with it so make way for it
Even if crossing it is forbidden upon you

11. I see deputies, wishing, her lips
And only the Most High and its Emir curbed her

12. And the conduct of a people in dew, Ghulibi
For every time one of them who leads it

13. And for the brilliant state light bundled
From the highest horizon and this its illuminator

14. A youth preceding the youths who were before him
So the first of the youths of glories is its last

15. Her father is her son in what I see and her elder
By the date of the years her younger

16. As if when Abu Al-Hayja sufficed with her
Her father was the father of Al-Hayja when he rouses her

17. He has great deeds in the Most High, either pulling her
To his rule therein or protecting her

18. The brother of the Presence which frivolity does not enter its borders
Nor does vile speech possibility attend its presence

19. And the churls did not emanate from it so it did not prepare
Its burdens filled and its chests

20. Attributes if it were not for the beauty of its face
It would lack in the world a peer
