1. Leave the glamour of creation and behold the glamour of manners,
Beauty without manners is a flower without fragrance.

2. And fall in love with the whiteness of traits and qualities, and do not
Bother with falling in love with the blackness of hair and eyes.

3. Does a paper dress attract you,
Even if its appearance is beautiful one day?

4. A beautiful eye is no use to you if
Its owner's heart is restless.

5. Alas! My heart speaks of love for
A beauty that is deaf without beauty or speech.

6. If we limit ourselves to loving beauty, how many
Idols deserve to be loved like Venus?

7. Wine is sweet to the eye in appearance, but if
In reality it does not taste sweet, it leads to nausea and burning.

8. And how many appeared busy as bees,
While in poverty, like large bones in torn rags.

9. Skeletons without flesh
Clothed in robes they could not afford.
