وأَبدِ لِلْحاسدين وجْهاً

لو أَبصَروا حُسْنَهُ لَهَاموا

And show the envious a face—

had they beheld its beauty, they would have fallen madly in love.

ولا تُصِخْ لِلْوشاة وارْفِقْ

بمغرمٍ دَمْعُهُ سِجامُ

Do not heed the slanderers; be gentle

with a lovesick lover whose tears pour without cease.
