1. You say, while tears have made their omens manifest,
Moisten between my waist-sash and my anklets,
١. تقولُ والدَّمعُ قد ظلَّتْ بوادِرُهُ
تَبُلُّ ما بينَ أذيالِي وأزْياقِي
2. "Do not weep; wait for the restitution, for ofttimes
You have laughed on the day of intertwining shank with shank.
٢. لا تَبكِ وانتظِرِ العُقْبى فَرُبَّتَما
ضَحِكْتَ يومَ التفَافِ السَّاقِ بالسَّاقِ
3. So, He who joined the pair before you will not
Be vexed by our amity after separation."
٣. فإنَّ مَنْ جَمَعَ الزوجينِ قبلَكَ لا
يَعبا بأُلفتِنَا بعدَ التَّفِرَّاقِ
