قالَ لي اعتَلَّ مَن هَويتَ حَسودٌ

قُلتُ أَنتَ العَليلُ وَيحَكَ لا هو

He said to me, "He who you love is envied by the sick"

I said, "You are the one who is sick, poor you!

ما الَّذي أَنكَروهُ مِن بَثَراتٍ

ضاعَفَت حُسنَهُ وَزادَت حُلاهُ

What is it that they disapproved in youthful charms

That multiplied his beauty and increased his allure?"

جِسمُهُ في الصَفاءِ وَالرِقَّةِ الماءُ

فَلا غَروَ أَن حَبابٌ عَلاهُ

His body is like water in purity and gentleness

So it's no wonder that bubbles rise over him
