يلومونني في حبّ ذي المقلة الزرقا

على أنّها شؤمٌ وهمت بها عشقا

They blame me for loving the one with blue eyelids

Saying it is misfortune though I desired her with passion

فقلت لهم كفّوا الملام تأدّباً

فطيبة قد طابت بها عينها الزرقا

So I said to them, cease your blame in courtesy

For her eyes are made beautiful by their blueness
