1. Over all that was between us in affection
Time's pardon spreads, going and returning,
١. على كُل ما قد كان في الوُدِّ بَيننا
عفاءٌ مدى الأَيّام غادٍ وَرائِحُ
2. Exposing what but for you had not appeared
To the foe, and claiming in your ignorance
٢. تُشنِّع ما لولاكَ لم يَبدُ لِلعِدى
وَتَزعم من جَهلِ بأنك ناصِح
3. That you are my adviser. Awaken, o heedless one,
You are not worthy of me, with such disgraces upon you.
٣. أفق أيها المَغرور لستَ بلائِقٍ
بمثلى وقد شانَتك تلك الفضائِحُ
