رأي عاذلي مَنْ هِمتُ فيه صَبابةً
ولَمْ يَبقَ لي فيهِ اصطبارٌ ولا جَلَدْ
My reproacher saw the one with whom I was infatuated—the object of my ardent longing;
For him, I had no patience or fortitude left.
فقال أهذا الشادن الأَحور الّذي
رماكَ بطرفٍ منه قلت نَعَمْ وقَدْ
He said, “Is this the dark-eyed young gazelle who
Struck you with a glance of his?” I said, “Yes—by his graceful form!”
