فِي مِثْلِهَا يُرْفَضُ قَوْلُ الْعَذُولِ
I said: Love the spring of al-Badhul,
I said love the eye of the stingy one in whom
for a spring like it, the reproacher's words are rejected.
The word of the chaste one would be rejected
فَقَلَّمَاfor seldom أَبْصَرْتُمُyou have seen (plural) مَنْظَراًa sight
فَقَلَّمَا أَبْصَرْتُمُ مَنْظَراً

أَمْلَحَ مِنْ مَنْظَرِ عَيْنِ الْبَذُولِ
For seldom have you seen a sight
Yet rarely did you see a look
lovelier than the sight of al-Badhul's spring.
More beautiful than the look of the stingy eye
Sol 6.1
