1. Do not imitate them when you see them
Painting their faces white and red

2. If only they knew the outcome of makeup
They would rush with their faces to the Lord of all

3. They have deceived you with the ugly example as they are
Deceived by it and became a reprehensible example

4. These are their faces, look at them all
A smear that grew into bad taste and marred the view

5. You are the beautiful one boasting over them
Lost as the sparrow boasted over the finch

6. You are the youth, vivacious and smiling
Will you kill life with it grieving?

7. And you are ivory, purity and cleanliness
And the dawn, the tender-sided, illuminated

8. And the gazelle, charming of glance, enchanting
And the branch, the garden’s queen, blooming and flowering

9. And the rising sun, its light rippling
In the two horizons, so it was a delightful sight

10. For what do you love dreary clouds
That veil your luminous face?

11. And why do you cast off the jasmine flowers
So the tender branch dries up and breaks?

12. And why do you prevent the gazelle from
Glancing with kohl-lined eyes, more enchanting?

13. And why do you cover the dawn with
The inclination of the beast, distorted and gloomy?

14. And why do you hide ivory in
Soil so pearls hide in the earth?

15. In beauty, in your eyes purely
And murmur of sweet, green living

16. The difference between free women and those
Whose faces are for viewers, they will not know

17. So leave showing off and adorning and smile
To bring down the brightest, most splendid star

18. Indeed, the beautiful one is God’s creation, not
The makeup artist’s, faked and fraudulent
