1. If I come near, his frowning brow repels me,
And fear of his disdain contents me without a glance.
١. اِن فُزت بِالقُربِ أَقصَتني حَواجِبُه
وَخَوف لحطيه يُغنيني عَنِ النَظَر
2. If I incline to estrangement, he disquiets me
To the beauty of his face, my patience being weak.
٢. وَاِن جَنُحَت اِلى الهِجرانَ أَزعَجَني
اِلى جَميل لُقاهُ ضُعف مُصطَبِري
