لَقَدْ بَدا يَنثَني في أخْضَرِ الحلَلِ

Indeed, he appeared swaying in green robes,
He seemed to bend as branches in verdant adornment
Like branches bent sideways by the wind.
Swayed gently by the breeze to inclination's bent.

إنسانُ ناظِرِهِ ذي الكُحْلِ والكحَلِ
And the slaying within his lover’s entrails was hastened by
And hastened slaughter in his lover's vitals -
The pupil of his eye, with kohl and naturally dark lids.
The human owned by eyes of kohl and collyrium.
لاdo not تَعتبوهُreproach him علىfor تَعجيلهِhis haste أبَداًever
لا تَعتبوهُ على تَعجيلهِ أبَداً
لِأَنّهُbecause he خَلقَcreated الإِنسانَman منْfrom عجَلِhaste
لِأَنّهُ خَلقَ الإِنسانَ منْ عجَلِ
Never reproach him for his haste,
Reproach him not forever for his haste,
For he created man from haste.
Since he created man for haste and agitation.
