Jaceyl indho maleh

 love is blind

This saying reflects the circumstance where one is deeply in love with someone, preventing them from recognizing any harm inflicted by the beloved due to the emotional blindness caused by love. It is analogous to the situation of women who endure abuse from their partners. These women harbor such intense affection for their men that they overlook the fact that they are being subjected to severe physical harm. In the past, within Somali society, men would brutally mistreat their wives, and yet the women remained oblivious to the abuse. Love has the tendency to highlight only the positive aspects, making it challenging to perceive any negativity in those we love. Consequently, this emotional blindness can lead us to deny or overlook the truth, such as in cases where a spouse is unfaithful to their partner, but the blinded individual adamantly refuses to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

Somali translation

Hadalkani waxa uu ka turjumayaa duruufaha uu qofku si qoto dheer u jeclaado, isaga oo ka ilaalinaya in uu garto dhibaato kasta oo uu gacalku u geysto indho la’aanta shucuureed ee jacaylku keeno. Waxay la mid tahay xaaladda haweenka u adkeystay xadgudubyada uga imaanaya lammaanahooda. Haweenkani waxay raggooda u hayaan kalgacal aad u daran, taasoo keentay inay iska indhatiraan xaqiiqada ah in dhaawac jidheed oo daran loo geysto. Waagii hore, bulshada Soomaaliyeed dhexdeeda, raggu waxay si arxan darro ah ula dhaqmi jireen xaasaskooda, haddana dumarku way iska indho-tireen xadgudubka. Jacaylku waxa uu leeyahay u janjeera in uu muujiyo oo kaliya dhinacyada togan, taas oo ka dhigaysa mid adag in la dareemo wax diidmo ah oo ku yimaada kuwa aan jecelnahay. Sidaa awgeed, indho la’aantan shucuurtu waxay inoo horseedi kartaa in aynu inkirno ama iska indho-tirno xaqiiqada, sida haddii ay dhacdo in lammaanuhu uu daacad ka noqdo lammaanahooda, laakiin qofka indhoolaha ah ayaa si adag u diiday in uu garwaaqsado xaqiiqada jirta.
