1. If redness appears in the eye of love,
It is no disease to be feared for its continuance.
١. لَئِن ظَهَرت في مُقلةِ الحب حُمرَةٌ
فَما ذاكَ داءٌ يُختشى مِن بَقائِهِ
2. Rather it is a sword that struck the instruments of passion,
And droplets flew towards it from its blood.
٢. وَلَكِنَّها سَيفٌ أَصابَت ادَا الهَوى
فَطارَ رَشاشٌ نَحوَها مِن دِمائِهِ
