They said you've fallen blindly in love with her

قالوا تعشقتها عمياء قلت لهم

1. They said you've fallen blindly in love with her
I said to them, what's it to do with her eyes and finding fault?

١. قالوا تَعَشَّقتَها عَمياءَ قُلتُ لَهُم
ما شانَها ذاكَ في عَيني وَلا قَدَحا

2. Rather, my passion for her grew because she'll never
See the gray hair in my hairline as it becomes exposed

٢. بَل زادَ وَجدِيَ فيها أَنَّها أَبَداً
لا تُبصِرُ الشَيبَ في فودي إِذا وَضَحا

3. It's no wonder if an unsheathed sword wounds
What amazes me is a sheath that wounds

٣. إِن يَجرَحِ السَيفُ مَسلولاً فَلا عَجَبٌ
وَإِنَّما عَجَبي مِن مُغمَدٍ جَرَحا

4. It's as if she were a garden I was alone in
And its keeper slept drunk once overflowing

٤. كَأَنَّما هِيَ بُستانٌ خَلَوتُ بِهِ
وَنامَ ناظِرُهُ سَكرانَ قَد طَفَحا

5. The roses bloomed from their buds there
And the soft narcissus after it had just bloomed

٥. تَفَتَّحَ الوَردُ فيهِ مِن كَمائِمِهِ
وَالنَرجِسُ الغَضُّ فيهِ بَعدُ ما اِنفَتَحا
