1. إِذَا بَدَتْ حَسْنَاءُ فِي بُرْقُعٍ

    لَمْ يَحْجُبِ البُرْقُعُ مِنْهَا الشِّعَاعْ

    When a beautiful woman appears in a face veil,

    The veil does not conceal her radiance.

  2. أَمَّا الَّتِي أَمَّنَهَا رَبُّهَا

    أَنْ تفْتِنَ النَّاسَ ففِيمَ القِنَاعْ

    As for her whom her Lord has spared

    From captivating people—what, then, is the veil for?
