He who I passed by and glanced at me not

من كلفي أنني مررت به

1. He who I passed by and glanced at me not
A single glance, though my beauty drew me towards him

١. من كَلَفِي أنّنِي مررتُ به
فلم يَعِرْني من طَرْفِهِ طَرَفا

2. When I saw his aloofness, I almost
Vented my grief and poured out my woe

٢. وكدتُ لَمّا رأيتُ غِلظَتَهُ
أُنْجِعُ جسمي بمهجتي أَسَفا

3. His charm had attracted me to him
As the guide attracts the noble train

٣. قَد قادَني حُسنُه إليه كما
قاد اليمانون جِلَّةً شرَفا

4. So I said, gently, you are not the first one
An offender has sought his forgiveness and he forgave

٤. فقلت رفقاً فلستَ أوّلُ مَن
لاذ مُسيءٌ بعفوه فعفا
