Your eyes are the mind of every swimmer,

عيناك عقلة كل سابح

1. Your eyes are the mind of every swimmer,
The cause of passion between the souls.

١. عَيناكَ عُقلَةُ كُلِّ سابِح
سَبَبُ الجَوى بَينَ الجَوانِح

2. Are they ropes or swaying bodies,
Or are they bodies swaying?

٢. أَحبائِلٌ أَم مُقلَةٌ أَجوارِحٌ
هيَ أَم جَوارِح

3. Their glances intoxicate those
Who meet them overflowing with drunkenness.

٣. سَكَرت لَواحِظُها وَمَن
تَلقى بِها سَكران طافِح

4. O you whom souls desire
And the best of ideas occur to,

٤. يا كُلَّ ما تَهوى النُفوسُ
وَجُلَّ مقتَرح القَرائِح

5. How coy you are when you show
An excuse to the romancers.

٥. كَم في عِذارك إِذ بَدا
عُذرٌ إِلى اللآحين لائِح

6. Do you not shy from shedding my blood,
You who were too shy to shake hands?

٦. هَل لا تَحرجَ عَن دَمي
يا مَن تورَّعَ أَن يُصافِح

7. And you see the soundness of my exterior
And so think your glance causes no injury.

٧. وَتَرى سَلامَةَ ظاهِري
فَتَظُنَّ طَرفَك عيرَ جارِح
