They found fault with the redness of the beloved’s hair,
They rebuked the beloved for the redness of his hair,
And I think they did not grasp the reason for it.
And I suppose by his sign they were not aware,

Do not condemn what has turned red in it, for it
Do not deny what reddened of him, for it
Is braided with the blood of love’s devotees.
Is adorned with the blood of the lovers.
