1. What my eyes obtained through you, I became
And his aloofness, beautiful patience, bent
١. نالَهُ ما بمقلتيكَ فأنا
وجفاهُ الصبرُ الجميلُ فَحَنَّا
2. And a heart complained to you what ails it
It would have been, were it not for it, tranquil and content
٢. واشتكى ما به إليكَ فؤادٌ
كانَ لولاهُ آمناً مُطمئنا
3. You are gentleness from all men
If he had attained what he wishes
٣. مُدنفاً أنت سلوةٌ مِن جَميعِ الن
ناس لو كانَ نالَ ما يتَمنى
4. You have a heart that does not soften, and a body
Like a rod, from its softness it bends
٤. لكَ قلبٌ ما إن يَلينُ وَجسمٌ
كقَضيبٍ من لينهِ يتَثنَّى
