أعف عنه وقلبي نهب ناظره

فما حصلت على وزر ولا وزر

Forgive him though his glances plundered my heart

I gained no blame, no blame from loving eyes apart

والسمع والقلب من لومي ومن ألمي

قد أصبحا فيه رهن الشر والشرر

My hearing and my heart are pledged, because of blame

And pain, to evil and to evil's fiery dart
