ولم ينقلب مني إلى سلوة قلب
By love’s sanctity, I have not strayed from the path of fidelity.
By the right of love's law, my heart knows not to waver,
Nor has my heart turned toward forgetting.
Nor turn from constancy however it may quiver.
وماand not أناI غراinexperienced بالصبابةin ardent longing والهوىand love
وما أنا غرا بالصبابة والهوى

فأنكر دمعي إن جرى وأنا صب
And I am not so inexperienced in ardent longing and love
My tears flow not from fancied youthful fire,
That I should find my tears strange if they flow while I am lovesick.
But well when love's realities my being sear.
