1. My greetings and life to you,
And my advice and sermons to your youth.

2. You have been blessed with beauty,
And beauty in this world comes with troubles.

3. Its radiance yields you gems,
And the envy of thieves and spite of snakes.

4. The generous love beauty, though it may
Cause the vile to stir up disputes.

5. Like the full moon whose light brings joy to nomads,
It can also illuminate the darkest doubts.

6. So beware, for beauty has allure,
And I see you trusting negligence.

7. Guard your beauty, for it’s a gift on loan,
That God watches until its time is done.

8. Bear your youth to old age spotless,
Free of what would tarnish bright pages.

9. Beauty is treasure in your hand, so protect it
From the greedy gaze and ogling eyes.

10. It’s best for one whose lids are veils
To not let his eyes close in sleep.

11. If you're a lovely, fragrant flower, know
That flowers are prey for insects.

12. Don’t be fooled by their softened words,
For softness is the web of life’s snares.

13. It hurts me when beauty falls prey,
To the wanton and immoral ways.

14. The hardest hearts soften when they see
A gentle lamb robbed by wolves and hyenas.

15. Make your gaze, whenever you turn it,
A blow to the devil of wanton souls.

16. Keep your love a joy and delight
For those who know the pure pleasures.

17. You were created as joy for the conscience,
And rose above the aspirations of lust.
