لا تَطلُبَنَّ فَتاةً مِن وَسَامَتِهَأ

مَا لَم يُوَافِقكَ مِنهَا الدِّينُ وَالخُلقُ

Do not seek a maiden for her beauty alone,

Unless her religion and morals with yours are in tune.

وَالرِّفقُ يَجمَعُ أَهلَ البَيتِ ما اجتَمَعُوا

وَقَد يَشُقُّ عَلَى أصحَابِهِ الخُرُق

Gentleness brings together the people of a house,

However much they be scattered and hewn.
