ظَلموهُ في تَشبيهِهِم شَمسَ الضّحَى

بِخُدُودِهِ الحُسنى فَآذوا عاشِقَه

They wronged him by comparing his fair cheeks

To the morning sun, thus hurting his lover.

ما أَنصَفوهُ لِغَفلَةٍ صَدَرت لَهُم

في ذاك عن لامِ العِذارِ الفارِقَه

They did him injustice out of their ignorance

Of the distinctive blame of the excusing roamer.
