1. With languid eyes that held no blemish
Save they were not made for caressing
١. وَذاتِ غَدائِرٍ لا عَيبَ فيها
سِوى أَن لَيسَ تَصلُحُ لِلعِناقِ
2. You ordered her taken away, and so she left us
Though she felt no pain in that parting
٢. أَمَرتَ بِأَن تُشالَ فَفارَقَتنا
وَما أَلِمَت لِحادِثَةِ الفِراقِ
3. If she is absent, it is not by her choice
And if she visits, it is not out of longing
٣. إِذا هَجَرَت فَعَن غَيرِ اِختِيارٍ
وَإِن زارَت فَعَن غَيرِ اِشتِياقِ
