يا قَومِ أَذني لِبَعضِ الحَيِّ عاشِقَةٌ

وَالأُذنُ تَعشَقُ قَبلَ العَينِ أَحيانا

O people, my ear is enamored with one alive

And the ear may fall in love before the eye at times

قالوا بِمَن لا تَرى تَهذي فَقُلتُ لَهُم

الأُذنُ كَالعَينِ تُؤتي القَلبَ ما كانا

They said, "With whom unseen do you rave?" I said, "To them

The ear and eye both give the heart what they contain."

هَل مِن دَواءٍ لِمَشغُوفٍ بِجارِيَةٍ

يَلقَى بِلُقيانِها رَوحاً وَرَيحانا

Is there a cure for one impassioned with a damsel -

Who meets her essence and scent at both her sides?
