Do not blame blackness, for it is part of you

لا تعيبوا السواد فهو مناكم

1. Do not blame blackness, for it is part of you
In branches, eyes, and eyebrows

١. لا تَعِيبُوا السَّوادَ فَهُوَ مُناكُمْ
فِي فُرُوعٍ وأَعْيُنٍ وَحَواجِبْ

2. And you make designs from it
And tattoos on the cheeks of beauties

٢. ولَقَدْ تَجْعَلُونَ مِنْهُ رُقُوشاً
وَنُقُوشاً عَلَى خُدُودِ الكَوَاعِبْ

3. And I see the night is loved by you
And I see the dawn displeased by every critic

٣. وَأَرَى الليلَ عِنْدَكُمْ مُسْتَحَبّاً
وَأَرَى الصبْحَ عابَهُ كُلُّ عائِبْ

4. Ask musk and perfumes about it
And ask the ink on the writer's page

٤. وَسَلِ المِسْكَ وَالغَوَالِيَ عَنْهُ
وَسَلِ الحِبْرَ في صَحِيفَةِ كاتِبْ

5. And a rash when it afflicts a cheek
Crawls on it like scorpions crawl

٥. وَعِذَاراً إِذَا أَلَمَّ بِخَدٍّ
دَبَّ فيهِ كَما تَدِبُّ العَقَارِبْ

6. And suffice that it suits the apple of my eye
And my eye and youth it suits

٦. وَكَفَى أنَّهُ لِحَبَّةِ قَلْبِي
وَلِعَيْنِي وللشبابِ مُناسِبْ
