1. My beloved, I do not care that our love is in foreign lands
Nor am I deterred that you are a foreigner
١. حَبيبِيَ ما أَزرى بِحُبِّكَ في الحَشا
وَلا غَضَّ عِندي مِنكَ أَنَّكَ أَعجَمُ
2. Though others disparage you unjustly
If I were to agree, I would be the unjust one
٢. وَعابَكَ عِندي العائِباتُ ظَوالِماً
وَإِنّي إِذا طاوَعتُهُنَّ لَأَظلَمُ
3. To fault one's speech is strange
Like a baby deer chewing leaves in bitterness
٣. بِنَفسِيَ مَن يَستَدرِجُ اللَفظَ عُجمَةً
كَما يَمضَغُ الظَبيُ الأَراكَ وَيَبغَمُ
