Why have you grown angry at my love, O Ẓamyāʾ?
Why are you angry at my love, O blind one,
What is my fault? Passions have circled around you.
What is my fault if the winds swarm around you,
ماnot اِختَصَّwas reserved بِأَنfor … to تَعشقَكِlove you الأَكفاءُequals
ما اِختَصَّ بِأَن تَعشقَكِ الأَكفاءُ

Loving you is not reserved for your equals.
It is not just the worthy who chose to love you,
Before me, the chameleon loved the sun.
Before me, the wild gazelle loved you too.
