أقولُ لِجسمٍ مُسقَمٍ ولمُهجَةٍ

قد اختَلفا مِن بَعدِ بَينِكَ عَنهما

I say to a body diseased and to an accent

That have differed after between you two

تخاصَمتُما من بَعدِهِ فأطَلتُما

فليتَكُما قبلَ الفِراقِ افترقتُما

You disputed after it so you prolonged

If only you both had separated before the farewell
