Do not find strange a yellow tint in my tears,
Do not deny the yellowness of my tears
Which the onlooker sees as they stream.
That the onlooker sees when I weep

فاللونfor the color للوجنةِto the cheek لاnot للدموعto the tears
فاللون للوجنةِ لا للدموع
And they merely flow over one wasted away;
For they flow down an emaciated cheek
For the color belongs to the cheek, not to the tears.
So the color comes from the cheek, not the tears
