1. Both lovers are angry,
And both are longing and troubled.
١. العاشِقانِ كِلاهُما مُتَغَضِّبُ
وَكِلاهُما مُتَشَوِّقٌ مُتَطَرِّبُ
2. They refused intimacy, and refused an intimate;
Both are exhausted by what they are going through.
٢. صَدَّت مُراغِمَةً وَصَدَّ مُراغِماً
وَكِلاهُما مِمّا يُعالِجُ مُتعَبُ
3. Go back to those you loved, whom you've abandoned,
For the orphan rarely avoids.
٣. راجِع أَحَبَّتُكَ الَّذينَ هَجَرتَهُم
إِنَّ المُتَيَّمَ قَلَّ ما يَتَجَنَّبُ
4. Avoidance, if it takes hold of you both,
Makes wishing impossible and the goal remote.
٤. إِنَّ التَجنُّبَ إِن تَمَكَّنَ مِنكُما
دَبَّ السُلُوُّ لَهُ فَعَزَّ المَطلَبُ
