"Addinu husnul khuluq"
Agama itu keindahan budi pekerti.

You tell her that she's beautiful,
She laughs and asks you how,
When there's a crack on her front tooth,
And there's a crease between her brow.

Where is all the beauty,
In her slightly too big nose,
In the freckles on her cheeks,
And how her hair takes years to grow.

And you wonder where she learned,
That beauty lies upon your skin,
So that she thinks it doesn't cover,
Everything she holds within.

Its very definition,
Is pleasing to the sense or mind,
But she's let them changed the way,
She thinks her beauty is defined.

It breaks your heart to know her mirror,
Is how she estimates her worth,
And not the lives she's made much better,
By simply being on this earth.

Umpama sebuah taman bunga yang dikelilingi pagar, seperti itulah diri seorang perempuan. Adakalanya kita mungkin menemukan taman bunga yang berpagar indah, namun bunga-bunga di dalamnya layu dan mati. Adakalanya juga kita menemukan taman bunga yang pagarnya mungkin buruk atau biasa-biasa saja, namun bunga-bunga di dalamnya mekar indah dan mewangi. Memang kita (perempuan) selalu menduga, pentingnya memiliki pagar yang indah. Agar nanti dapat menarik orang mengunjunginya, hingga terlupa menyiram dan menjaga bunga-bunga di dalamnya. 

Wahai pemilik taman bunga,  memiliki pagar yang indah itu tidak salah, asal kau tidak lupa, bahawa orang yang mengunjunginya nanti bukan mahu melihat pagarnya saja tapi mahu menikmati bunga-bunga di dalamnya. Maka, berikanlah baja yang terbaik, siramlah ia setiap hari.

 Nah, untukmu perempuan ;)
