O you who reproach me for a maiden
O you who blame me for a girl
like the pitch-dark night:
As dark as the darkest night!

داءٌ عزيزٍُ الدَّواء
From the madness of my love for her, I suffer
With love for her I'm crazy—
an illness whose cure is hard to find.
A malady past any cure.

Leave me be, for the root of my madness
So let me rave in madness!
is the predominance of black bile.
The cure would only hurt me more.
