1. Describe the affection of one whose love for you is pure
And leave off fraternizing with the dear but fickle kinsman
١. أَصِفِ المَوَدَّةَ مَن صَفا لَكَ ودُّهُ
وَاِترُك مُصافاةَ القَريبِ الأَميَلِ
2. How many a distant one has had a pure love for you
While a wicked kinsman was as distant as a stranger
٢. كَم مِن بَعيدٍ قَد صَفا لَكَ ودُّهُ
وَقَريبِ سَوءٍ كَالبَعيدِ الأَعزلِ
