إِنَّ الأَمينَ وَإِن تَعَفَّفَ جُهدَهُ

لا بُدَّ أَنَّ بِنَظرَةٍ سَيَخونُ

The honest one, though he is chaste,

The trustworthy man, even if he strives his utmost to abstain,

Will certainly betray with a glance.

Must inevitably, with a mere glance, commit betrayal.

القَبرُ أَوفى مِن وَثِقتُ بِعَهدِهِ

ما لِلنِساءِ سِوى القُبورِ حُصونُ

The grave is more faithful than one whose pact I trust;

The grave is more faithful than he whose covenant I trusted,

Women have none but graves for their fortress.

For women have no fortresses other than the graves.
