1. How long this coquetry and flirting
You have fooled yourself in reckoning

2. There is no goodness left in you
Except decking with henna

3. I do not desire your affection
The tax has been lifted from the ruins

4. Life is only in youth
And in the company of the youth

5. I saw you carried in the coffin
That is the title of the book

6. I asked what was underneath
They said bones in a bag

7. I heard disgraces about you
Spread by the hands of riders

8. And how many times you stood
In the alleys for reproach

9. And today they called you a free woman
The elite of the virtuous women in veils

10. I wanted to answer
But it was not the time for an answer

11. O you, youth has gone
So how long this coquetry?

12. Leave the company of youth
You have despaired of youth

13. This is not the trait of virtuous women
Nor the trait of vulgar women

14. When I count you among the dogs
I demean the status of dogs

15. You are not one to be hoped for
Neither in engagements nor in courtship
