Her blindness and what it caused

إن نعمى وما درت

1. Her blindness and what it caused
Bore me down with its burden.

حَمَلَتْنِي بظعنها

My heart with its beauty.

رِ فؤادي بحسنها

Myself for a moment in her dimple.

سيتُ من بعض قِنِّها

4. She sought me out, stabbing
My heart with her cowardice.

٤. طَلَبتني على شجا
عةِ قلبي بجُبْنِها

5. When I pretended to turn
Away, it was as if I didn't blame her.

٥. كنتُ لمّا كنّيْتُ عن
ها كأنّي لم أعْنِها

6. Would that I had lain in the shadows
Asleep by her branch.

مِ ضجيعاً لغُصنها

Past, brushing her cheek.

رُ اِجتِيازاً برُدْنِها

Sins I did not commit.

ىَ ذُنوباً لم أجْنِها
