يا عدلُ تصلحُ عدلاً

على وجوهِ النساءِ

O Justice, you correct justice

On the faces of women

منزهاً عن لواطٍ

تُرمى به أو زناءِ

Free from homosexuality

With which she is charged or adultery

وغيرُ ذينِ بلاءٌ

واللَهُ ربّ البلاءِ

And others without affliction are a calamity

And Allah is the Lord of calamity

تُبلى وتُعفى على

رغم آنفِ الأعداءِ

You wear out and are pardoned over

The spite of enemies

لا عيبَ فيكَ سوى قَو

لِهم قليلُ الحياءِ

No fault in you but the words

Of those with little modesty

فثمَّ عذرٌ أقمنا

هُ معشرَ الأصدقاءِ

So there is an excuse we have established

We the company of friends

تلقى الرجالَ بوجهٍ

من أهل بيتِ اللقاءِ

You meet men with a face

From the people of the house of meeting
