1. When a beauty in a veil is seen
The veil cannot stop her radiance keen
١. إِذَا بَدَتْ حَسْنَاءُ فِي بُرْقُعٍ
لَمْ يَحْجُبِ البُرْقُعُ مِنْهَا الشِّعَاعْ
2. But she whom her Lord has made discreet
To tempt not others, why need she screen?
٢. أَمَّا الَّتِي أَمَّنَهَا رَبُّهَا
أَنْ تفْتِنَ النَّاسَ ففِيمَ القِنَاعْ
