He makes my heart sicker by turning away—
a guileless gazelle with languor in his gaze.

If he turns his face away from me, it is in vain:
for his nape is a substitute for his face.
لَوif شاهَدَsaw الشَريفُal-Sharif مائِعتَرَضَتdid not arise
لَو شاهَدَ الشَريفُ مائِعتَرَضَت

عائِقَةٌ في الحَبيبِ تَعتَرِضُ
Had al-Sharif seen him, there would have arisen no
hindrance such as might arise concerning the beloved.
