His glances inspire hope of winning him,
Yet his haughtiness makes one despair of union with him.

I would ransom him who was lavish in his generosity,
And made the lover despair of reproaching him.
قُلْتُI said لَهُto him وَالْغَنْجُand coquetry كُحْلٌkohl لَهُfor him
قُلْتُ لَهُ وَالْغَنْجُ كُحْلٌ لَهُ

And grace traced back to his grace:

You condemn people for wronging their lovers,
Yet you lead me toward the same.
