نسيمُها كالمِسك في نَشرهِ

وجسمُها روحٌ بلا شَخصِ

Her breeze is like musk in its diffusion

And her body is a soul without person

لو جمدت في دَنِّها لحظة

خرطتُ من جامدها فَصي

If she were to freeze for a moment in her humility

I would carve from her solidity a gem

وأهيفَ كالبدر في تِمّهِ

على عذاب الناس قد وُصي

And she sways like the full moon in its entirety

Upon the torment of people she was entrusted

قامتُه كالغُصن مهتزّةٌ

في كَفَل يرتجُّ كالدِّعصِ

Her stature is like a wavering branch

In a palm tree that sways like a rod

يقتصُّ مِمّن كان ذا عفّةٍ

يقولُ قد أذنبتُ فاقتصِّ

She takes revenge on whoever was chaste

Saying I have sinned so take revenge

تورُّعاً مِن أن يُرى ظالماً

تورّعَ الكافي أبي النَّقصِ

Abstaining lest she be seen as unjust

As Al-Kafi abstained, my father Al-Naqis
