كَم أَطنَبَ الناسُ في وَصفِ العِذارِ وَكَم

في سَوسَنِ الرَوضِ قالوا لا يُقارِنُهُ

How much people have been excessive in describing rejection, and how much

In the lily of the meadow they said it has no equal,

وَطالَما أَرتَبتُ في اِستِحسانِ مَذهَبِهِم

حَتّى اِنجَلَت لي بِتَوفيقِ مَحاسِنُهُ

And for long have I hesitated in liking their doctrine,

Until its virtues became clear to me,

وَحاصِلِ الأَمرَ دَعوى الحُسنِ قَد رَفَعَت

وَفيهِ إِثباتُها قامَت قَرائِنُهُ

And the point is, the claim of beauty has been elevated

And in it its proofs have been established,

وَاليَومُ بِالحُكمِ يا وَيلاهُ قَد نَطَقوا

عَلَيَّ حَتّى لاقى ما أُعايِنُهُ

And today in judgment, oh woe, they have spoken

Against me until I faced what I'm experiencing,

وَباشِرِ اللَحظَ تَنفيذَ القَضا عِجلاً

وَحاجِباهُ عَلى قَهري تُعاوِنُهُ

And proceed quickly to execute the verdict with a glance

And its eyebrows in subjugating me are aiding it.
