مثل الدجا وقضى القياس بصدقه
I had thought that the blackness of his hair
Was like night’s darkness, and analogy affirmed its truth,
حتىuntil إذاwhen كشفlifted القناعthe veil وزارنيand visited me

تحت الدجا بطل القياس بفرقه
Until he lifted the veil and visited me
Beneath night’s darkness: his hair’s parting disproved the analogy.
