«أجدُ الملامةَ في هواكَ لذيذةً»
“I find reproach in loving you delightful.”
Reproach in love is ordinarily painful, but the speaker reverses the expected judgment: censure becomes pleasurable because it brings the beloved to mind or causes others to speak of the beloved.
This shows that reversal is not mere insertion of an antonym. The earlier or expected conclusion is inverted through a new explanatory relationship suited to the poetic situation.
