Sol 6.1

  1. لاتَجلِسَن حُرَّةٌ مُوَفَّقَةٌ

    مَع اِبنِ زَوجٍ لَها وَلا خَتَنِ

    Let no rightly guided free woman sit

    with her husband's son, nor with a son-in-law.

  2. فَذاكَ خَيرٌ لَها وَأَسلَمُ لِل

    إِنسانِ إِنَّ الفَتى مَعَ الفِتَنِ

    For that is better for her, and safer for

    a person; indeed, a young man is amid temptations.

  3. وَدُم عَلى غَيرَةِ الصِبا أَبَداً

    وَلا تَعُد في الشَبابِ ثُمَّ تَني

    And keep the jealousy of youth forever,

    and do not return to youth and then grow slack.

  4. كَأَنَّما الحادِثاتُ في الآفاقِ

    بَعضُ السَحائِبِ الهُتُنِ

    It is as though misfortunes across the horizons

    were some of the clouds pouring rain.

  5. ما خُتِنَ القَومُ بِاِختِيارِهِم

    إِذ جُلِبوا مِن طِرازٍ أَو خَتَنِ

    The people were not circumcised of their own choosing,

    when they were brought from Tiraz or Khotan.
