عَلِمتُكَ وَاللَهُ الحَسيبُ عَفيفَةً

مِنَ المُؤمِناتِ غَيرَ ذاتِ غَوائِلِ

I know you, by Allah the Accounter, chaste

Among the faithful women, without intrigues

حَصاناً رَزانَ الرِجلِ يَشبَعُ جارُها

وَتُصبِحُ غَرثى مِن لُحومِ الغَوافِلِ

A mare, steady of step, her neighbor is sated

Yet in the morning is haggard from the spoliations of the plunderers

وَما قُلتُ في مالٍ تُريدينَ أَخذَهُ

بُنَيَّةُ مَهلاً إِنَّني غَيرُ فاعِلِ

And I spoke not of wealth you wish to take

With the intention of reprieve, I am not a doer of that
