عَشِقَت مَن لا أُلام فيهِ وَلا

أُنسَبُ في عِشقِهِ إِلى الغَلَطِ

I fell in love with one who has no blame in him

Nor do I attribute any wrong in loving him

لِأَنَّني ما تَرَكتُ قَطَّ يَدي

مُذ كُنتُ طِفلاً إِلّا عَلى النُقَطِ

For I have never since I was a child

Removed my hand except from the dots
