He became indifferent, so no mercy touches him,

مل فما تعطفه رحمة

1. He became indifferent, so no mercy touches him,
And he took the causes of separation as helpers.

١. مَلَّ فَما تَعطِفُهُ رَحمَةٌ
وَاتَّخَذَ العِلّاتَ أَعوانا

2. If the passage of time saddened you with its estrangement,
Sometimes it may gladden you as well.

٢. إِن ساءَكَ الدَهرُ بِهِجرانِهِ
فَرُبَّما سَرَّكَ أَحيانا

3. Do not despair of the affection of a relative who became indifferent,
For after intimacy he manifested estrangement.

٣. لا تَيأَسَن عَطفَ أَخي مَلَّةٍ
أَظهَرَ بَعدَ الوَصلِ هِجرانا

4. These people get bored with those whom they loved,
While our connection remains as it was.

٤. يَمَلُّ هَذا الناسُ مَن قَد هَوَوا
وَوَصلُنا باقٍ كَما كانا
