He who borrowed beauty for his face

من استعار الحسن من وجهه

1. He who borrowed beauty for his face
And the soft branch for his form

١. من استعارَ الحسن من وجههِ
والغصن الناعم من قدّهِ

2. We have indeed reproached each other with our eyes
For the neglect of the latter part of his promise

٢. لقد تعاتَبنا بأبصارنا
فيما جناهُ الخلفُ من وَعدهِ

3. Until we have destroyed each other by our repetition
Of glances in my heart and on his cheek

٣. حتى تجارحنا بتكرارنا
للحظ في قلبي وفي خدّهِ

4. So he took his revenge, and I took mine
And I was happy to repel his repulsion

٤. فأدركَ الثأرَ وأدركتُهُ
وسرني بالصدِّ عن صدِّهِ
