1. I have not darkened my eyes from vanity, but rather
My eyes have been darkened by two darknesses -

2. The darkness of the injustice when they raised
The head of Hussein on the spear,

3. And the darkness of time when the radiant
Light hid from the two lights.

4. So do not assume the darkening of my eyes
Is due to flirtation or adornment,

5. For some assumptions are sinful,
And sin, by God, is not trivial.
