تُشاوِرُ بِكرَكَ في نَفسِها

وَتَنسى مُشاوَرَةَ الثَيِّبِ

She consults with her virginity within herself

And forgets consulting with the experienced one

وَأَنتَ سَفيهٌ رَأى مِثلَهُ

فَقالَ السَفاهُ لَهُ عَيِّبِ

And you are a fool who saw his like

So ignorance said to him, blame!

أَيا جَسَدَ المَرءِ ماذا دَهاكَ

وَقَد كُنتَ مِن عُنصُرٍ طَيّبِ

O body of man, what has misled you

When you were made of good substance

تَخَبَّثتَ إِذ جُمِعَت أَربَعٌ

لَدَيكَ وَأَضحَكتَ في الحَيِّ بي

You went astray when four were gathered in you

And you laughed openly in the neighborhood

فَلا تَجزَعَنَّ إِذا ما الحِمامُ

صاحَ بِوَفدِ الضَنى هِيَّ بي

So do not grieve when the pigeons

Cry with the delegation of grief, come!

تَصيرُ طَهوراً إِذا ما رَجِعتَ

إِلا الأَصلِ كَالمَطَرِ الصَيِّبِ

You will become pure when you return

To the origin like pouring rain

وَما لَكَ مالٌ وَإِن جُزتَهُ

فَأَعطِ عُفاتَكَ أَو خَيِّبِ

And you have no money even if you were given it

So give your chastity or disappoint
