قَد كَلَّمَت عَينُهُ عَيني فَهَنّوني
وَحَدِّثوني بِحُبٍّ لَيسَ بِالدَونِ
His eye has spoken to mine—so congratulate me;
and speak to me of my love, which is no mean thing.
قالوا جُنِنتَ بِلا شَكٍّ فَقُلتُ لَهُم
ما لِذَّةُ العَيشِ إِلّا لِلمَجانينِ
They said, “You have surely gone mad.” So I said to them:
Life’s delight belongs to none but madmen.
