1. أَتَوْنِي فعَابوا مَنْ أُحبُّ جَهالَةً

    وذاكَ على سمعِ المحبِّ خَفيفُ

    They came to me and, in ignorance, faulted the one I love;

    And that falls lightly on the lover’s ear.

  2. فما فيهِ عَيْبٌ غيرَ أَنَّ جُفونهُ

    مِراضٌ وأَنَّ الخَصْرَ منه ضَعيفُ

    For he has no flaw except that his eyelids

    Are languid, and that his waist is slender.
