1. قالَت وَشِعارُها الثِيابُ البيضُ

    في لبسيَ ذا بِمأتَمي تَعريضُ

    She said, with white garments as her attire:

    “My wearing this hints at my mourning.

  2. مَهما اِختَضَبَ البيضُ حداداً بِدَمٍ

    لا يخضب في حدادهنَّ البيضُ

    However much white blades are dyed with blood in mourning,

    Fair women remain undyed in their mourning.”
