Eyes assailed me in my life,
Eyes that beguiled me in my life
And achieved what they wished in bewitching me.
Got what they wanted of my passion

Ask me about their dwellings—ask me:
Ask me of their abodes, just ask
For, through my passion for them, they dwelt in my eyes.
For I dwelled where my eyes made home

وهلى في الحب يا أم ارحميني
I asked them for mercy, and they said:
I begged for mercy, but she said
“And is there, in love, any ‘Mother, have mercy on me’?”
Can love show mercy? Have mercy on me!
Sol 6.1
