فَأَقسِمُ ما أَدنَيتُ كَفّي لِريبَةٍ

وَلا حَمَلَتني نَحوَ فاحِشَةٍ رِجلي

I swear by all the deeds my hands have done,

And that my feet walk not towards shameful acts.

وَلا قادَني سَمعي وَلا بَصَري لَها

وَلا دَلَّني رَايي عَلَيها وَلا عَقلي

Neither my ears nor eyes have led me there,

Nor has my reason or mind inclined that way.

وَأَعلَمُ أَنّي لَم تُصِبني مُصيبَةٌ

مِنَ الدَهرِ إِلّا قَد أَصابَت فَتىً مِثلي

And I know that no calamity has struck me,

Except the same that happened to others like me.
