1. صَمَتَ العَذولُ وَصَمتُهُ إِقرارُ

    صَمَتَ المُحِبُّ وصمتُهُ إِصرارُ

    The reproacher fell silent, and his silence is an admission.

    The lover fell silent, and his silence is insistence.

  2. الحبُّ نارٌ وَالمَلامُ مُثيرُهُ

    والجَفنُ زَندٌ وَالدُّموعُ شَرارُ

    Love is fire, and reproach its kindler.

    And the eyelid is a firestick, and tears are sparks.

  3. لا تَلحَ واعذِر إِنَّها الأَهواءُ إِن

    عَذَرت وإِلّا إِنَّها الأَقدارُ

    Do not reproach, and forgive: these are passions, if

    You forgive; otherwise, they are the decrees of fate.
