1. يَمشينَ وَهناً وَبَعْدَ الوَهْنِ مِن خَفَرٍ

    وَمِن حَياءٍ غَضِيضِ الطَّرفِ مَستورِ

    They walk late at night, and later still, out of bashfulness,

    And from veiled modesty, with downcast eyes.

  2. إِذا اِنتَسَبْنَ ذَكَرنَ الحَيَّ مِن أَسَدٍ

    مُنَزَّهاتٌ عَنِ الفَحْشاءِ وَالزَّورِ

    When they recount their lineage, they name the clan of Asad,

    Untainted by indecency and falsehood.

  3. يَحمِلنَ ما شِئتَ مِن دينٍ وَمِن حَسَبٍ

    وَما تَمَنَّنينَ مِن خَلقٍ وَتَصويرِ

    They possess all you could wish of piety and ancestral honor,

    And all you could desire in bodily form and appearance.

  4. غَرُّ منعمةٌ يَضحَكنَ عن بَرَدٍ

    تُمِّمْنَ في أيِّ تَبتيلٍ وَتَخصيرِ

    Fair and pampered, they smile, revealing hailstones.

    They were made perfect—what shapely limbs and slender waists!

  5. لا يَلتَفِتنَ وَلا يَنطِقْنَ فاحِشَةً

    وَلا يُسائِلْنَ عَن تِلكَ الأَضابيرِ

    They neither turn to look nor utter obscenities,

    Nor do they ask about those gatherings.
