ذَا خَطُّ عِذارِ خَدِّكَ الَمنسوخُ

ذَا خَطُّ عِذارِ خَدِّكَ الَمنسوخُ

الحُسنُ بِهِ جَميعُهُ مَنسوخُ

الحُسنُ بِهِ جَميعُهُ مَنسوخُ

Here is the copied script traced by the down upon your cheek;

This is the transcribed script of down upon your cheek;

by it, all beauty is abrogated.

All beauty is superseded by it.

أَسرَفتَ وَزِدتَ في تجَنيِّكَ تُرَى

أَسرَفتَ وَزِدتَ في تجَنيِّكَ تُرَى

أَيَّامُ جَفاكَ ما لَها تاريخُ

أَيَّامُ جَفاكَ ما لَها تاريخُ

You have gone too far, and gone still further in wronging me—I wonder:

You have gone too far and increased your unjust treatment—I wonder:

have the days of your estrangement no date?

Have the days of your coldness no date?
