1. I confirm what I have seen of her beauty
With erasure of what I have seen of myself
١. أَثبَتُّ ما عايَنتُ مِن نَحوِها
بِمَحوِ ما عايَنتُ مِن نَحوي
2. I found respite from the wind of her love, yet I
Do not distinguish between intoxication and sobriety
٢. وَرُحتُ مِن راحِ هَواها وَلا
أَفَرِّقُ بَينَ السَكَرِ وَالصَحوِ
3. I erase what I confirm of her beauty
And testify to erasure with confirmation
٣. أَمحو الَّذي أَثبَتُّ مِن حُسنِها
وَأَشهَدُ الإِثباتَ بِالمَحوِ
