غَيِّر وَأَنكِر عَلى ذي الفُحشِ مَنطِقَهُ

إِذا أَجازَ خَنازيرٍ خَنازيرُ

Rebuke and deny the one with obscene speech,

When pigs approve of other pigs.

أَمّا الجُسومُ فَإِنسٌ في مَناظِرِها

لَها مِنَ النَحضِ تَشبيكٌ وَتَأزيرُ

As for the bodies, they are human in appearance,

With intricate and dazzling ornaments.

كَأَنَّها وَرِجالٌ يَنهَضونَ بِها

مِنَ الفَخامَةِ هَوناتٌ بَهازيرُ

As if they and the men who escort them,

Are despicable show-offs.

يُعَزَّرُ المَلكُ تَوقيراً وَحُقَّ لَهُ

عَلى المَآثِمِ تَأديبٌ وَتَعزيزُ

The king is respected out of reverence, and he deserves,

To discipline sins and give encouragement.
