1. Do not abandon the beloved if he is aloof
And do not punish him for what he has done
١. لا تَهجُرَنَّ الحَبيبَ إِن هَجَرا
وَلا تُعاقِبهُ بِالَّذي فَعَلا
2. When we tested him in intimacy, nothing
Was better for him than procrastination and excuses
٢. إِذا بَلَوناهُ في الوِصالِ فَما
أَحسَنَ إِلّا المِطالَ وَالعِلَلا
