أَيُّكُم سائِلٌ زُرَي

قَةَ عَن حالِ بِنتِها

Which of you asks Zurayqa

About the state of her daughter

هِيَ رَتقاءُ يَعجَزُ اللَف

ظُ عَن قُبحِ نَعتِها

She is ugly, words fail

To describe her ugliness

ما لَها مِن حِرٍ فَتُن

كَحَ فيهِ سِوى إِستِها

She has no dignity to protect

So surrender to her wishes
