My eye no other place of rest


فليس لعيني عند غيرك موقف
كأنك ما يحكون من حجر البهت
أصرفها حيث انصرفت وكيفما
تقلبت كالمنعوت في النحو والنعت


"My eye no other place of rest
Discovers, save with thee;
Men say the lodestone is possessed
Of a like property.

To right or left it doth pursue
Thy movements up or down,
As adjectives in grammar do
Accord them with their noun".


~ Ibn Hazm ~
