1. If he is late visiting me, or forgets me,
Or if his affection becomes difficult and slackens,
١. إِن أَبطأَ في زِيارَتي أَو راثا
أَو أَشكلَ أَمرُ وُدِّهِ والتاثا
2. Far be it that the deep affections of love
Should break, after being so strong, into nothingness.
٢. حاشى لمرائر الهَوى مُحكَمَةً
أَن تُنقَضَ بَعدَ قوَّةٍ أَنكَاثا
