1. You will surely fall in love with ivory under brocade
After touching the brocade and ivory

2. Beware of being cheated for colors are deceitful
This is the trade of a sculptor and weaver

3. The beauty of the peacock's feathers appealed to us
Yet its voice disturbed us, what a disturbance

4. For appearances have a false, tedious beauty
While essences have a truthful, splendid beauty

5. And beauty has become a commodity that is bought so how much
I see free women as wives of quacks

6. How many coquettish women appeared in the market
Until when stripped of her brocade dress

7. I was disgusted by her and her charm disappeared
With her dress, and she became like cotton for a barber

8. So I remained hoping for salvation but the wine has become
From her a mirage and my heart is straitened, distressed

9. And after my dream of luxurious gardens
I tried in her prison to hasten release

10. What was of breasts and palms has disappeared
So I gained neither a fluttering nor twittering

11. Charms are disguised needs
If their adornment disappears, they do not fulfill a need

12. Leave coquetry, do not board her ship
For there are violent storms over the waves

13. And in marriage there are things, had you understood them
You would not have said happy for children and wives

14. Under stillness there is turmoil in which there is a storm
So do not be fooled by a cheek whose edge is finely dressed

15. But in the universe there are mysteries that guide us
And we were created for interpretation and stitching together

16. Fate may overcome estimated fate
And the head may fall between the throne and crown

17. And wealth may come from a chance circumstance
While poverty is between determination and preparation

18. Like misfortune, superstition harms its companion
So restrain your passion for relief and embarrassment

19. And walk the path of love, neither hopelessness nor ambition
And be wise, neither heavy rain nor hail
