1. عليك بحب من يرضاك حبا

    وباعد من تقبله لا بادي

    Hold fast to loving one who accepts you as a beloved.

    And keep away from one you accept—[“not apparent”; wording unclear].

  2. فان فتى تقلبه الايادي

    بعيد عن محافظة الوداد

    For a young man tossed about by hands

    Is far from preserving affection.

  3. وقربه ولا تهمل هواه

    وباعد من تقلبه الايادي

    And draw him near, and do not neglect his love.

    And keep away from anyone tossed about by hands.

  4. وفي اطواره قربا وبعدا

    بعيد عن محافظة الوداد

    And in his changing states, in nearness and distance,

    Is far from preserving affection.
