غَدَت أَعيُنٌ لِلناسِ رُمداً مُصابَةً

غَدَت أَعيُنٌ لِلناسِ رُمداً مُصابَةً

بِعَينيكَ إِنَّ السِحرَ مِنها يُؤثِّرُ

بِعَينيكَ إِنَّ السِحرَ مِنها يُؤثِّرُ

People's eyes have grown inflamed, afflicted

Other people's eyes have become diseased

by your eyes; indeed, the magic from them takes effect.

By your eyes, for magic comes from them.

وَكَم أَثَّرَت عَيناكَ في أَعيُنِ الوَرى

وَكَم أَثَّرَت عَيناكَ في أَعيُنِ الوَرى

إِلى أَن غَدَت في نَفسِها تَتَأَثَّرُ

إِلى أَن غَدَت في نَفسِها تَتَأَثَّرُ

And how often your eyes have affected the eyes of humankind,

And how much have your eyes influenced people's eyes

until your own eyes began to suffer in turn.

Until they have become impressed with themselves.

كَذا الصارِمُ الصَّمصامُ إِن دامَ قاطِعاً

كَذا الصارِمُ الصَّمصامُ إِن دامَ قاطِعاً

يَصِر فيهِ مِنهُ عِندَ ذاكَ تَأثُّرُ

يَصِر فيهِ مِنهُ عِندَ ذاكَ تَأثُّرُ

Likewise the keen, unbending sword, if it keeps on cutting,

Just so does the sharp sword if it remains cutting

will then itself suffer wear from its cutting.

Become impressed with itself at that point.
