1. The foolish do not say that women are a calamity,
Rather they are mercy and consolation.

2. In my heart there is a share for every female,
For it is a throne upon which women are honored.

3. When Adam lost the heavens out of ignorance,
Eve eased his worries for him.

4. And upon the plan that they sketched out,
Girls and boys go about.

5. The light of intimacy sparkles in the smile of a female,
From it comes happiness, strength and hope.

6. Her love is a blessing for us and her children,
In it, happiness and sadness are equal.

7. Like an angel she settled on earth,
In her is beauty, sublimity and glory.

8. The goodness of life is in her lips,
No heart can do without loving her.

9. She is a garden from her love, and she is the water,
He is a bird hovering and she is the air.

10. There are pains in life for everyone,
And for every pain there is a cure from her.

11. She is like a soft breeze and water,
Purity, clarity, and in her protection is the sky.

12. Her face makes the sun's rays sufficient,
And brightens the darkness with light in the midst of gloom.

13. The ancients worshipped her as an ideal,
And through her the poets were inspired.

14. To me, woman is not weak,
Rather it is we who are weak in love.

15. How often we kneel in humiliation at her feet,
Crying ardently, savoring the tears.

16. In her love every mighty one is humbled,
Kings and princes are abased.

17. Monks go astray if she crosses their path
In prayer, and the wise are confused.

18. O you who claim to hate women,
How many beauties have overpowered you!

19. Lessen your blame, and surrender,
For before them even the strong are weak.

20. They are more faithful in love than you, and stronger.
Do not say they lack loyalty.

21. And women's corruption is from you, for if not
For your betrayal, modesty would endure.

22. Be fair to the woman you betrayed,
For in loss she is a radiant star.

23. She is a queen who manages a kingdom,
She is Layla in poetry and al-Khansa.

24. She is a sister who shows affection, a mother who prays,
She is a wife from whom come the prophets.
