بيضٌ نَواعِمُ ما هَمَمنَ بِريبَةٍ

كَظِباءِ مَكَّةَ صَيدُهُنَّ حَرامُ

White, graceful, without any ill intent

Like the wild cows of Mecca, hunting them forbidden

يُحسَبنَ مِن لينِ الكَلامِ زَوانِيا

وَيَصُدُّهُنَّ عَن الخَنا الإِسلامُ

They are considered, because of the softness of their speech, compliant

And Islam bars them from vulgarity
