1. قَد حاطَتِ الزَوجَ حُرَّةٌ سَأَلَت

    مَليكَها العَونَ في حِياطَتِها

    A freeborn woman has indeed cared for her husband, asking

    her Sovereign for help in her care of him.

  2. غَدَت بِبُرسٍ إِلى مَرادِنِها

    أَو خَيطِ غَزلٍ إِلى خِياطَتِها

    She went in the morning with cotton to her spindles,

    or with spun thread to her sewing.

  3. أَماطَتِ السوءَ عَن ضَمائِرِها

    فَلاقَت الخَيرَ في إِماطَتِها

    She removed evil from her innermost thoughts,

    and so found good in removing it.
