1. We parted from people when they grew aware,
Yet sweet is the time we happen to meet.

2. We dispute the matter though it draws near,
Until with age, to it they're inured.

3. No eye profits from such beholding,
Nor ear from hearing his calumny.

4. Woe to Thaqif! What harms it cause them
If among their abodes I make my home?

5. Most of our talk increases, so if
We add, add they, though it has no price.
