A maid of ours has donned

A rag with which she attained the height of perfection.

She has attached to the stations of men.

In a robe of dignity, acceptance, and beauty,

And balance, radiance, and majesty.

From all I see of the charm of curves and allure.

ما أرى من حسن دَلٍّ ودلالِ

And ours to guard her through the long nights.

وعلينا حفظُها طولَ الليالي
