Marry, if you wish, a maiden of integrity,
If you desire a virtuous girl, get married
Like the implicit subject of “niʿma” (“excellent is”), ever remaining hidden.
Like concealed blessings that dwell in conscience

إِلى عُرُسٍ تَمُرُّ وَلا أَميرِ
When the maidens look out, she does not gaze
When time reveals itself, do not expect
At a passing wedding procession, nor at a prince.
A fleeting wedding, or prince or vizier
