1. O suitor of this world for yourself,
Withdraw from asking for her hand, and you will be safe.
١. يا خاطِبَ الدُنيا إِلى نَفسِها
تَنَحَّ عَن خِطبَتِها تَسلَمِ
2. She whom you court is a deceiver,
Her wedding chamber is near to the funeral home.
٢. إِنَّ الَّتي تَخطُبُ غَرّارَةٌ
قَريبَةُ العُرسِ مِنَ المَأتَمِ
