1. By God, your scheming is less than that of she
Who kindled in my heart a latent passion, while it was sound
١. تَاللهِ كَيدُكِ دُوْنَهُ كَيْدُ الَّتي
أَدْمَتْ شِغَافَ القَلْبِ وهو سَليْمُ
2. If yesterday's proposal, I reckon will heal,
Then the proposal from you is momentous
٢. إنْ كانَ خَطْبُ الأمْسِ أحْسَبُ أنَّهُ
يُشْفَىَ , فَإِنَّ الْخَطْبَ مِنْكِ جَسِيْمُ
3. So the rule regarding women's scheming is true
Since Adam resided in the gardens
٣. فَالْحُكْمُ في كَيْدِ النِّسَاءِ حَقِيقَةٌ
مُذْ كَانَ آدَمُ في الْجِّنَانِ يُقِيْمُ
4. And perhaps envy hidden in the eyes has vanished
From eyes, while evil in them remains pervasive
٤. وَلَرُبَّمَا حَسَدُ العُيُونِ قَدِ إخْتَفَى
عَنْ أَعْيُنٍ والشَّرُ فِيهِ وَخِيمُ
