1. My farming, like me, is despised
Though its beginnings were pleasing and enjoyed
١. فِلاحَةُ مثْلي مَمْقوتَةٌ
وإنْ أعْجَبَ البَدْءُ مِنْها وَراقْ
2. I planted a meeting and took care of it
Yet I gained from it nothing but farewell
٢. زَرَعْتُ اللِّقاءَ وعالَجْتُهُ
فلمْ أسْتَفِدْ منْهُ إلاّ الفِراقْ
