1. أَما وَالرِكابِ وَأَقتابِها

    تَجوبُ الفَلاةَ بِمُجتابِها

    By the mounts and their saddles,

    Roaming the deserts with their tents,

  2. تُنَصُّ بِكُلِّ فَتىً ناسِكٍ

    صَحيحِ النُهى غَيرِ مُرتابِها

    It puts faith in every devout young man,

    Upright and free of doubts,

  3. مَتى ذُكِرَت عِندَهُ مومِسٌ

    فَلَيسَ حِذاراً بِمُغتابِها

    Whenever a harlot is mentioned in his presence,

    He feels no temptation for her.

  4. وَأَجبالِ فِهرٍ وَأَحجارِها

    وَكَعبَةِ كَعبٍ وَمُنتابِها

    By the mountains of Fihr and their rocks,

    And Kaaba of Kaab and its stations,

  5. وَكُتبٍ يَبينُ اِتِّقاءُ المَليكِ

    في دارِسيها وَكُتّابِها

    And books that show the piety of the King

    Among those who study and copy them,

  6. لَقَد عُتِبَت هَذِهِ الحادِثاتُ

    فَلَم تُرضِ خَلقاً بِإِعتابِها

    These incidents have been blamed,

    But they did not please anyone with their blame.
