قد تَسترُ المرآةُ عَنْـ

قد تَسترُ المرآةُ عَنْـ

ـكَ خدوشَ وجهك مَعْ صَداها

ـكَ خدوشَ وجهك مَعْ صَداها

The mirror may hide from

The mirror may hide from you

you the scratches on your face because of its rust;

The scars upon your face along with its reflection

وكذاكَ نفسُك لا تُريـ

وكذاكَ نفسُك لا تُريـ

ـك عيوبَ نفسِك مَعْ هَواها

ـك عيوبَ نفسِك مَعْ هَواها

and likewise, your soul does not show

And so your soul does not show you

you your own faults because of its desires.

The flaws within yourself, blinded by its passions
