يا هندُ حسبكِ مغنماً وكَفاكِ
إنّ الذي يَهدِي النُّفوسَ هَداكِ
O Hind, you have gained enough, so stop
The one who guides souls has guided you
أقبلتِ تُرخِينَ القناعَ حَيِيَّةً
تُخفينَ نفسَكَ والنبيُّ يَراكِ
You came unveiling your veil joyfully
You hide yourself while the Prophet sees you
أوَ لَستِ هِنداً قلتِ في خَجَلٍ بَلَى
لا تخجلي فاللّهُ قد عَافاكِ
“Are you not Hind?” you said shyly “Yes”
Do not be shy, God has pardoned you
داويتِ بالإسلامِ قلبكِ فاشتَفَى
وغَسَلْتِ من تلكِ الجريمَةِ فَاكِ
You healed your heart with Islam so it recovered
And washed away from that crime, so be healed
لا تَذكُرِي الكَبِدَ التي مَارَسْتِها
فَأَبَتْ عَليكِ لعلّها تَنساكِ
Do not mention the hatred you practiced
Perhaps it will forget you if you forget it
وَدَعِي قلائِدَ يومِ بَدرٍ وَالْبَسِي
في بَهْجَةِ الفتحِ المُبينِ حِلاكِ
Leave the necklaces from the day of Badr
And wear the garments of the clear victory
أَخَذَ الهُدَى بكِ في سبيلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
فَخُذِي عنِ الشَّيخِ الجليلِ أذَاكِ
Guidance has taken you in the path of Muhammad
So take the morals of the great Sheikh as your guide
ما كان بالمفتونِ حِينَ شَتَمْتِهِ
وبَلَغْتِ في سُوءِ الصّنيعِ مَدَاكِ
It was not like you when you insulted him
And went too far in your evil ways
قُلْتِ اقتلُوهُ ولو أطاعَكِ جَمعُهُم
لَجَرى الدَّمُ المسفوكُ من جَرَّاكِ
You said “Kill him” and if all of them obeyed you
The spilled blood would have flowed from your hands
يا هندُ إنّ الحقَّ أعظمُ صَوْلَةً
مِن أَنْ يَهابَكِ أو يَهابَ أباكِ
O Hind, truth has greater power
Than your father or anything you fear
ما مِثلهُ إن رُمْتِ في الدّنيا أباً
يا بنتَ عُتبةَ مِن أبٍ يَرعاكِ
None is like him, even if you seek in the world a father
O daughter of Utba, from a father who pastures you
مَنْ قَدَّمَ الدُّنيا فليس ببالِغٍ
ما قدَّمَتْ عِندَ الرسولِ يَدَاكِ
Who puts the world first is not virtuous
Unlike what your hands presented to the Messenger
فِيمَ اعتذارُكِ والهديَّةُ سَمحةٌ
وهَواكِ في تَقْوَى الإلهِ هَواكِ
Why do you apologize? The gift is noble
And your love now is in fearing God
بايعتِ أهدَى العالمينَ طريقةً
ورَضِيتِ منه مُهَذَّباً يَرضَاكِ
You pledged to the best of guides a way
And you accepted his refined morals that please you
يَنْسَى الإساءَةَ وَهْيَ جُرحٌ بالغٌ
ويعوذُ بالخُلُقِ الكريمِ الزّاكِي
He forgets the harm though it was deep
And seeks refuge in generous untainted morals
مهما تَنَلْهُ المُحفِظاتُ مِنَ الأُلَى
جَهِلوا فليس بعاتبٍ أو شاكِ
No matter the accusations of the hypocrites
Let them be ignorant, he is neither blaming nor doubtful
أَعَجِبْتِ إذ ذَكَرَ الفواحِشَ هادياً
فَنَهَى اللّواتِي جِئْنَهُ وَنَهاكِ
You admired when he mentioned lewdness forbidding
Those who came to him from it and you too
إن تَعْجَبِي لِلعِرضِ يُبذلُ هَيِّناً
وهو الحياةُ بأسرها فَكَذاكِ
My wonder is for chastity offered easily
Though it is all of life, thus you have it
عِرضُ الحرائِرِ ما عَلمتِ وإنّما
يَرضَى سِواهُنَّ الزِّنَا وَسِواكِ
The honor of free women you have learned
Only accepting you equal to adultery
يَحْفَظْنَهُ ويَذُدْنَ عن مَمنوعِهِ
شَهواتِ كلِّ مُخادِعٍ فَتَّاكِ
They guard it and protect it from forbidden
Passions of every sly betrayer
تَأْبَى التي منهنّ يَقتلُها الطوى
أن يشترى بذخائر الأملاكِ
She who refuses it kills her desires
Though her bed be strewn with the stars
وتصدُّ معرضةً تضنُّ بنفسِها
ولو اَنّ مَضجَعَها ذُرَى الأفلاكِ
The shame of fornication disgraces faces
And its evil casts lands and people to ruin
عارُ الزِّنَا يُخزِي الوُجوهَ وشَرُّه
يَرمِي البلادَ وأهلَهَا بِهَلاكِ
O Hind, God has decreed His rule
So suffice you from the evil of His torment that He protected you from
يا هِنْدُ إنّ اللَّهَ أمضى حُكْمَهُ
فَكفَاكِ سُوءَ عذابِهِ وَوَقاكِ
You were given your provision of piety and guidance
So thank the One who delivered you
أُوتيتِ زَادَكِ مِن تُقىً وهدايةٍ
فَتَزوَّدِي سُبحانَ مَن نَجَّاكِ
