1. You are cured of the purest wheat's affliction,
Yet you resemble one afflicted with pallor from distress.
١. خَلُصتَ خُلُصَ التِبرِ مِن عِلَّةِ
الضَنى وَأَشبَهتَ مِنهُ عِلَّةً بِشُحوبِ
2. If fever is harmful to its foe,
It's no surprise it would harm the physician!
٢. فَإِن كانَتِ الحُمّى تَضُرُّ عَدوَّها
فَلا عَجَبٌ إِضرارُها بِطَبيبِ
3. Its occurrence in a body like yours is no novelty -
Heat in the morning sun is nothing strange.
٣. وَما كَونُها في مِثلِ جِسمِكِ بِدعَةً
فَما الحَرُّ في شَمسِ الصُحى بِغَريبِ
