The confined aspirations of women overcame

Extravagance while she is perseverant on rights

So consider the mighty, triumphant aspirations

فتأَمَّلوا الهِمَمَ الجِسامَ الظافره

The guest has no end to his stay

أَجَل الضيافة ما لَهُ من آخره

The commanding, prohibiting guests

أَضيافهنَّ الناهياتِ الآمره

As introductions to the confident outcome

كمقدِّماتٍ للنَتيجة خابره

Became one where the young girls are active
٩. فرجعتِ ناظرةً لمدرسةٍ غدت
فيها العذارى بالهنا متباشره

Their history, they hailed, O the good overseer

تأريخهنَّ هتفنَ نعمَ الناظره
