1. With my soul dark as musk in its hue
And as sweet, it has filled my heart through and through
١. بِروحي أَسمَراً كَالمسك لَوناً
وَطيباً قَد تَمكّن مِن فُؤادي
2. The jealous chide me, accusing of lies
Yet musk in its darkness, who ever decries?
٢. يعيَّرني العَذول بِهِ اِفتِراءً
وَهَل مسكٌ يعيَّرُ بِالسَوادِ
