1. His glances made me ill and in low estate,
Yet my place with him in love is lofty still.
١. أَسقَمتَني جُفونَهُ وَمَكاني
عِندَهُ في الهَوى مَكان الخلالِ
2. My body wastes not through the longings I conceal,
But love hath gained me merit through my suffering.
٢. لَم يشن جِسمي النَحول وَلَكن
زادَني الحُب رفعة بِاِنتِحالي
3. Suffice it that disgrace for me doth honour bring,
To be enfolded there or likened to his like.
٣. وَكَفى ذَلِكَ الخلال اِفتِخاراً
بِثَناياهُ أَو نَظير مِثالي
