صَرَّحتُ في حُبِّيَ عَن شَكلِهِ

صَرَّحتُ في حُبِّيَ عَن شَكلِهِ

وَلَم أُصِخ فيهِ إِلى غذلِهِ

وَلَم أُصِخ فيهِ إِلى غذلِهِ

I spoke openly, in my love, of his appearance.

I have revealed the form of my love,

And I paid no heed to his reproach concerning it.

Yet I didn't incline towards its folly,

وَبُحتُ لِلعالَمِ بِاِسمِ الهَوى

وَبُحتُ لِلعالَمِ بِاِسمِ الهَوى

فَليَقعُد المُغتابُ في نَزلِهِ

فَليَقعُد المُغتابُ في نَزلِهِ

And I revealed to the world the name of love.

And I have proclaimed my passion to the world,

So let the backbiter sit in his lodging.

So let the slanderer stay in his abode.
