I noticed him, so my heart was smitten by his glances

لاحظته فرمت قلبي لواحظه

1. I noticed him, so my heart was smitten by his glances
With arrows that have no feathers but kohl

١. لاحظتُه فرمتْ قلبِي لواحِظُه
بأسْهُمٍ ما لها رِيشٌ سِوى الكحَلِ

2. So the pain of his arrows appeared on my forehead
And the color of my blood appeared on his shy cheek

٢. فبان في مُهْجَتي آلامُ أَسهُمِهِ
وبان لونُ دمِي في خَدِّه الخَجِلِ

3. If only when he gave me the poison of his glances
He would give me the wine of kisses instead

٣. فَلَيتَهُ إذ سقانِي سُمَّ مُقْلتِه
صِرفاً سقانِي مُدامَ الَّلحْظِ بالقُبَلِ

4. If only he would refrain from my abandonment and darkness
As I have refrained with my heart from blaming him

٤. أَوليته صدَّ عن هَجْرِي ومَظْلمتِي
كمَا صَددتُ بقلبِي فيه عن عَذَلِ
