1. Many a lover of mine was once a foe.
He caused me sickness, but then became my physician.
١. وَرُبَّ حَبيبٍ لي عَدوٍّ عليَّ لَم
يزل مُمرِضي لكن اراهُ طَبيبي
2. My enemy has wronged me, but should I seek redress,
His beauty would dress me in the robes of a friend.
٢. عَدوي بما يجني عليَّ فان أُرِد
جَزاهُ تزيّا لي بزيّ حبيب
