ياO لَلرجالto the men (an appeal) لصَبوةfor the infatuation العُميانِof the blind
يا لَلرجال لصَبوة العُميانِ
She said, the morning I met her, 'Are you mocking me?
O men, what infatuation the blind have!'
فأجبتهاso I answered her نَفسيmy soul فداؤكِa ransom for you إِنَّماit is only that
فأجبتها نَفسي فداؤكِ إِنَّما

أُذني وَعَيني في الهَوى سِيّان
So I answered her, 'My soul be your ransom! It is just that
my ear and my eye are alike in love.'
