1. When a friend breaks his promise after affection,
I do not number myself among his companions.
١. إِنِّي إِذَا ما الْخِلُّ خَاسَ بِعَهْدِهِ
بَعدَ الوِدادِ فَلَسْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ
2. And if I chide him, but he does not return
From his error, I do not heed his reproaches.
٢. وإِذَا عَتَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّتَ لَمْ يَعُدْ
عَنْ غَيِّهِ لَمْ أَكْتَرِثْ لعِتَابِهِ
