I love him, Turkish of glance; I am pitied
My love abandoned me, though my gaze still yearns
By the reproacher on his account, when he prolongs his coldness toward me.
For him - the youth who's coldly left me to pine.
منfrom أينwhere يلزمهis required of him الوفاءfidelity لصبهto his lovesick admirer
من أين يلزمه الوفاء لصبه
ولسانهand his tongue لمdid not يدرknow نطقpronunciation الفاءthe letter fāʾ
ولسانه لم يدر نطق الفاء
How can he be bound to fidelity toward his lovesick admirer,
What duty's his to keep faith with a lad
When his tongue does not know how to pronounce the letter fāʾ?
Whose tongue can't yet shape the sound of "fidelity"?
