ماوِيَّةُ المَرأَةِ لا تَصحَبُ الما

وِيَّةَ المَرأَةَ مِن عُجبِها

A woman's coquetry does not accompany wisdom,

A woman's coquetry arises from her vanity,

لِعِلمِها أَنَّ الَّذي صاغَها

آثَرَها بِالحُسنِ في حُجبِها

For she knows that He who created her,

Preferred her beauty behind her veil.

لَو كانَتِ الدُنيا لَها مَنزِلاً

ما قُلتُ عَن مَعرِفَةٍ عُج بِها

Had this world been her abode,

I would not have spoken of her mystifying vanity,

سيرَ بِنا فَاِنظُر إِلى رُفقَةٍ

لا تَضَعُ الأَكوارَ عَن نُجبِها

Walk with us and look at a company of women

Who do not remove their veils from their faces.
