لو تَخيَّرتُ ما هَوِيتُ ولو مُلّ
كتُ أمري عرفتُ وجهَ الصواب
Had I had any choice, I would not have loved; and had I been made master—
—of my own fate, I would have known the path of right.
لم يشنها استحالةُ اللون عندي
أنها صبغة كلون الشباب
Its change of color did not mar it in my eyes:
for it is but a dye, like the color of youth.
