قدْ عبتمُ خدَّ حِبّي

قدْ عبتمُ خدَّ حِبّي

لما بدا الشعرُ فيهِ

لما بدا الشعرُ فيهِ

You have found fault with my beloved's cheek

You have blamed my love's cheek

When hair appeared upon it.

When the hair began to show upon it

وذا الذي عِبتُموهُ

وذا الذي عِبتُموهُ

هو الذي أشتهيهِ

هو الذي أشتهيهِ

And this, which you found fault with,

And the very one you blamed

Is what I desire.

Is the one I desire
