إذا صرَفْتَ نحْوَ وجْهٍ حسَنٍ
طَرْفَكَ واسْتَهْواكَ للحِينِ الطّمعْ
If you turn toward a beautiful face
your gaze, and desire at once entices you,
فلا تُمِلْ قلْبَكَ ما اسْطَعْتَ لهُ
فالقَلْبُ كالحائِطِ إنْ مالَ وقَعْ
do not let your heart lean toward it, as far as you can;
for the heart is like a wall: if it leans, it falls.
Sol 6
