يا قربهُ حلفَ الذنوب
وتنافست فيهِ القلوب
Ah, his nearness—the sworn ally of sins!
Hearts vie with one another for him:
من فاقَ بالحسن الأنا
مَ فكله حسنٌ وطيبُ
he who, in beauty, surpassed the self,
he who is wholly beauty and sweetness.
ملكَ العيونَ فكلها
داع إليهِ له مجيبُ
He enthralled all eyes, so every one of them
calls to him and answers him.
فمريبُها في ملكهِ
وتقيها فيهِ مُريبُ
Their morally suspect one is under his sway,
and even their devout, where he is concerned, is suspect.
Sol 5.6
