عَذْلُ المُحِب على مُعَذِّبِهِ

عَذْلٌ لعَمْرُك لا يُوَافِقُهُ

Treating one's tormentor with forbearance

Is surely a stance that reason can't endorse

لما تكمَّل حُسْنُ وَجْنتِهِ

قالُوا تعَذِّرْ قلتُ عاشِقُهُ

Though perfection itself adorns his visage

I said: “I love him,” they said: “Make your excuses”
