قالsaid ليto me العذالthe reproachers دعgive up حبهloving him
قال لي العذال دع حبه
ماnot فيهin it إلاّexcept شقوةmisery أوor أذىharm
ما فيه إلاّ شقوة أو أذى
The reproachers told me, “Give up loving him;
The blamer said to me, leave off loving -
There is nothing in it but misery or harm.”
In it is naught but wretchedness or harm.

So this saying increased my heart’s sorrow.
But this saying increased my heart's grief -
What harm would it do my reproachers if this ceased?
No harm if my blamer went away!
