You drew me a plan of hatred spontaneously

سمتني خطة من الكره نقدا

With a reward that may or may not come to be

١. سُمتَني خُطةً من الكُره نقداً
بجزاءٍ يكونُ أو لا يكونُ

2. You destined me to disappear from everything
While I, enthralled, flow near it

٢. سمتني أن أغيبَ عن كل شيء
أنا صبٌّ بقربه مفتون

3. And you promised the one you had promised goodness
While with me you had pledges to violate

٣. ووعدتَ التي وعدت من البرْ
ر وعندي بالخلف منك رُهون

4. So you came to her in whom evil is seen
An opinion of the eye, though its good is assumed

٤. فأتيتَ التي يُرى الشرُّ فيها
رأي عينٍ وخيرُها مظنونُ

5. And I expected it would be said: absent!
And from denial: a resolute one, duped

٥. وتوقَّيتُ أن يقال غبينٌ
ومن النكر حازمٌ مغبون

6. I do not love she whose fruit is sweet
Hoped for, yet whose thorns are guaranteed

٦. لا أحب التي لذيذُ جَناها
مُتمنَّىً وشوكُها مضمون
