«عِينِ الْحُب عَمْيَهْ»

The saying gives love an eye of its own and declares that eye blind; the dialect form عَمْيَهْ corresponds to the standard feminine عمياء, agreeing with the feminine noun عين. Taken plainly, it holds that a person who loves cannot see clearly what they love, so their view lacks the clarity of someone unattached.

The image most naturally points to the beloved's defects, which the lover fails to perceive. The wording itself does not settle whether the remark is meant as reproach, as excuse, or simply as an observation about how affection shapes perception.

Fits a moment when someone's affection seems to keep them from seeing a cherished person or thing as others see it, serving as a brief comment on how love colors what a person perceives.
