I gaze so that your eyes may see
What has befallen me.
For my eyebrows have spread out
Above my eyes like a ruler.
I will not blame you once;
Who would blame the dark-skinned one?
From an enamored glance that erases
And obliterates lines.
Read my eyes, do not fear;
I have hidden within them the massacre.
I have hidden within them a tear,
Despite the sorrow, a tear that has been concealed.
I have never betrayed our affection;
No, I have not betrayed, Antara.
I love you, my master,
And in love there is forgiveness.
