عذال أهل الهوى في الأرض لو جمعوا

رضيت جمعهم من عاذلي بدلا

Were all the reproachers of lovers on earth gathered together,

I would gladly take their whole host in exchange for my reproacher.

لو تسأل الأرض عنه كيف تحمله

لقالت الأرض كيما أحفظ الثقلا

If you asked the earth about him—how it can bear him—

the earth would say: So that I may keep the weighty one safe.
