1. By my father, she who hid her charms
From prying eyes, though not herself to blame;
١. بِأَبي التي كَتَمَتْ مَحاسِنَها
خَوْفَ العُيونِ ولَيْسَ تَنْكَتِمُ
2. She wore the blackness of her hair to guard
Against reproach, though blackness cannot shame
٢. لَبِسَتْ سَواداً كَيْ تُعابَ بِهِ
والبَدْرُ لَيْسَ يَعيبُهُ الظُّلَمُ
