وغُنجِ عَينك وما أودَعَت
أجفانُها قلبَ شَجٍ وامقِ
By your eye’s coquettish charm, and what has been lodged
by its eyelids in a sorrow-stricken lover’s heart:
ما خَلَقَ الرحمنُ تُفَّاحتَي
خَدَّيكَ إلا لفَمِ العاشقِ
The All-Merciful did not create the two apples
of your cheeks except for a lover’s mouth.
لَكِنَّني أُمنَعُ منها فما
حظِّيَ إلا خِلسَةُ السَّارِقِ
But I am barred from them, so
my share is nothing but a thief’s furtive snatch.
Sol 6.1
